Are you aged 18+, enjoy sports and physical activity and would like to get into coaching?
Salisbury City Council’s Activity Leaders are seeking volunteers to help them deliver their sports and activity program across Salisbury. Volunteers will be supported to help engage participants in our low-cost or free activities to a wide array of participants throughout the city.
Whether you wish to gain experience in coaching or want to give back to our community, volunteering is a fantastic way to grow your skills and confidence when delivering activities.
Megan, who previously volunteered for our dodgeball project, now works for the Council as a Community Development Officer and says, “Volunteering in the community has provided me with invaluable experience, helped me discover further opportunities available to me, made training opportunities more accessible and allowed me to meet new people.
The experience I gained from volunteering in the community has been integral to being able to work as a Community Development Officer, which is something I probably wouldn't have considered or known about if I had not been already involved in community coaching.”
Salisbury City Council will require a DBS Check for applicants and an informal interview to help us better support you and ensure you get the most out of your volunteering time. On occasion, the Council may be able to support volunteers in accessing training opportunities to develop their knowledge or qualifications further.
In addition, we cannot guarantee that volunteering will lead to paid employment, although if this is a career route you wish to explore, we would like to support or advise you to achieve this.
Current Volunteering opportunities available:
• Monday: Friary Afterschool Club 3:30-4:30 / Ability Counts Football 5pm-6pm
• Tuesday: Cricket 1pm-2pm / Dodgeball 4:30-5:30 (School years 2-4) / Dodgeball 5:30-6:30 (School years 4-9) / The Hangout 4pm-6pm
• Wednesday: Bemerton Heath Afterschool Club 3:30pm–5pm
