PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
Fight for Peace is looking for a dynamic individual to promote our Life Champions e-learning course to sports coaches across the country. The ideal candidate will be responsible for connecting with key stakeholders including Sport England, NGB level and other national partners in order to reach coaching professionals nationwide.
Background
In April 2022 Fight for Peace became one of 120 Sport England Systems Partners. The aim is to deliver system-wide change against Sport England’s 10-year strategy, Uniting the Movement, to level up access to sport and physical activity across the country. One of the goals of this programme is to increase the engagement of under-represented and under-served groups in sports and physical activity. Fight for Peace believes that it can be done through championing clubs and coaches as assets for social change, and championing the skills of coaches. Fight for Peace has created an online course for coaches to help achieve this, called Life Champions.
About the Life Champions Course
The Fight for Peace Life Champions course is an online course for sports coaches who want to learn how to use their sport as a tool for youth development. It is designed to help coaches expand their impact to include supporting the personal development of young people.
The course will increase their confidence (through increasing awareness, knowledge, and skills) to help young people develop key skills that will support them in sport and in life beyond the sport. Coaches will learn about the values and behaviours of a Life Champions coach, build an understanding of how to create a Life Champions environment, think about equality, diversity and inclusion, and develop practical ideas to support young people to develop Life Champions skills.
