After-School Sports Leader – Football, Basketball & Multi-Sports
Start Immediately – Monday & Friday
With potential for extra hours or the odd weekend shift.
Do you love sport? Do you have the energy to keep up with a class of kids who seem to have had three bowls of sugar for lunch?
If so, we'd love to hear from you
We're looking for enthusiastic After-School Sports Leaders to run exciting football, basketball, and multi-sports sessions for primary school children in Dalkey and across the Greater Dublin area.
This role is perfect for anyone with a background in sports coaching or teaching who wants flexible, part-time hours and the chance to make a real difference (and possibly improve their 5-a-side fitness while they're at it).
What You'll Do
● Lead fun, structured after-school sessions in football, basketball & multi-sports
● Keep children active, engaged, and having a blast every week
● Create a positive, inclusive environment where every child feels like a star player
● Ensure sessions are safe, well-organised, and don't end with a basketball in the flowerbed
● Build great relationships with kids, parents, and school staff
What We're Looking For
● Experience working with children (schools, clubs, or camps)
● Sports coaching or teaching qualifications (highly desirable)
● Confidence leading group activities with primary-aged children
● Strong communication skills and a positive, energetic attitude
● Ability to travel independently to schools in Dalkey & Greater Dublin
● First Aid certification is a plus (though hopefully unused)
The Details
● Hours: 6–10 per week (after-school)
● Pay: €20–25 per hour
● Extra: Opportunity for additional hours or weekend work
● Start Date: Immediate
● Location: Dalkey & Greater Dublin area
● Contract: Part-time, term-time role
Why Join Active Ireland?
At Active Ireland, no two days are the same — except that every day ends with tired, happy kids (and often tired, happy coaches too). We deliver after-school programmes, Cycle Right training across Leinster, and popular outdoor activity camps during school holidays.
You'll join a supportive, energetic team where your skills matter, your ideas are valued, and your step count will definitely be impressive.
