Community Sport and Health Officer Apprentice

Mending Lines began with one man, one rod and a hard year — and a simple belief that the bank can give people back a bit of themselves. This is how a personal lifeline became a community.

Other requirements

This is a practical, outdoor role and the apprentice will be expected to work outside in different weather conditions. The role involves working near water, handling fishing equipment, bait and fish, and helping to set up and pack away equipment.

Some young people attending our Alternative Provision may have additional needs or display challenging behaviour, so patience, resilience and consistency are important.

Our main venue is in a rural location, so the successful applicant will need to be able to travel to the site reliably. Occasional evening or weekend work may also be required for community sessions and events.
