Volunteer Coach
KEEN London
We run free, engaging and accessible activities for children with additional needs and disabilities.
Our Volunteer Coaches are the backbone of a KEEN London session! You’ll provide one-to-one support to an athlete, helping them to access all the activities on offer, achieve their personal development goals, and of course have tons of fun! You can expect to get involved with a wide range of playground games, ball games, nature walks, and creative activities. From time to time, we also run trips for our athletes, and previous trips have included trampoline parks, high ropes courses, pedalo boating and slime-making classes.

Evaluating & Reviewing
We don't ask for any particular experience but the following skills are useful: Empathy, Communication, Patience, Problem Solving, Positivity, Sense of Humour, Teamwork, Collaboration, Working With Children
KEEN London would not be what it is without the volunteers who support our work, and we want to ensure that all our volunteers gain just as much from their volunteering journey as they put into the charity. Here’s what you’ll get in return for supporting us: ● Regular volunteer social events, and opportunities to meet other coaches ● We will provide you with ongoing feedback and support to enable you to reach your full potential at KEEN, you will receive an induction and handbook prior to starting your role and you will receive access to a virtual training portal with additional resources. ● We will give you opportunities to access other roles to help you broaden your skills, such as becoming a Captain or Session Leader. ● Long-term volunteers receive t-shirts, badges, and advance sign-ups to our popular events ● We have a budget set aside to cover volunteer expenses (see Volunteer Agreement below) ● We will provide job/character references to volunteers after a reasonable period of volunteering with us
This is a flexible volunteer role. To get the most out of the experience, we would recommend attending two sessions per month as a reasonable expectation.
