    About this opportunity:The Central Park Community Trust is a community-based football and sports charity which aims to give opportunities to all whether looking to play, coach or be involved in sport and football. Our Assistant Coaches will support our lead coaches to deliver fun related games. We offer a clear progression pathway for our volunteers, with many of our previous volunteers becoming lead coaches, contract roles/positions, with some now coaching in the United States. At our Charity Trust we ensure everyone is treated the same from volunteers to management, with all individuals being supported in their own pathway. The Trust will cover the cost of all Scottish FA coaching courses, First Aid, Child Well-being and any other courses an individual would like to attend.
