Ramsgate, Holy Trinity C.E. Primary School is seeking a dedicated and passionate Sports Coach to join our small, inclusive Church of England primary school. This is an exciting opportunity to continue our legacy of sporting excellence and to inspire every child to achieve their best.

Applicants may apply for the one day per week Sports Coach role, or for a full-time position (which includes four days as a Teaching Assistant and one day as Sports Coach). Full-time applicants must demonstrate suitability for both roles, including experience of working with and supporting SEND. Please specify on your application which role you would like to be considered for.
