Opportunity to join the SASSOT Coaches Database |
In conjunction with NGB’s, Local Authorities and Education partners, Sport Across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent are working towards the introduction of the Staffordshire Coach Database. This will be open to all coaches, living or working in the Staffordshire area, who have met a set of minimum operating criteria. We anticipate that this database will help to raise the profile and standards of coaching in this area. Details of registered coaches will be held on an on-line database, which will be searchable by registered schools and Local Authority Sports Development Officers, to help them fill coaching vacancies within their organisations. The list will not be a central employment system and coach details will be issued on the understanding that employers will still be responsible for following good employment practice when recruiting coaches from the list. As well as the benefit of enhanced employment opportunities, registered Coaches will receive advice and improved access to training. They will also qualify for a discount at events such as the Staffordshire Coaching Conference. The database will "go live" in September 2007, however we would like to invite coaches to apply as soon as possible. For more information please contact: Ben Hollands |
