Physical Activity Sessional Workers.

As a valued member of the Sports and Activity Team, the Physical Activity sessionals play an important role to deliver a co-ordinated physical activity programme in our parks, community centres and leisure facilities to include carrying out fitness assessments, assisting participants to set realistic activity goals, develop exercise and walks programmes to increase residents participation levels and improve their health.

Physical Activity sessionals are key to the success of our activity and walks programmes as you will be providing residents with their first taste of being active for health and assisting them in setting realistic goals. Sessionals will be required to work evenings and weekends and maybe required to work with and along side Sports Coaches to meet service requirements
