Overview

Are you looking to further your career within the sports and education sector? Premier Education is dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of children through active learning. We deliver sports, arts and wellbeing courses to around 240,000 primary school children every year. We are looking for a confident Sports Coach & Primary PE Specialist to join our team.

Children love going to their next class or their next holiday camp because of our coaches, because of the relationships that are built and because of the confidence our coaches instil in the children they teach!

Having such a positive effect of the children of this country is something to be truly proud of and goes hand in hand with the Premier Education core values!
