The 3-month Lion City Parkour Coaching Career Trial aims to onboard and train new coaches in honing up their practical coaching skills to match up with the company’s vision of bringing quality parkour education to Singapore.
In this 3 months, we will be running our first term (quarter) of classes and courses of the year. Thus, you will be going through the term with the coaches and students that will be coaching or attending.
You will be introduced to the foundations of Parkour and Flips, writing and executing lesson and course plans, class control, structure, safety, working with a variety of different age groups such as children, adults, and seniors, as well as a variety of class types like regular beginner classes, birthday parties, CCAs, workshops, and the like.
Ultimately, we are looking for both male and female fresh graduates (post-NS), looking to get some experience in the sports coaching line of work. It will be a bonus if you already have some outside coaching experience or had work with children before. Of course, if you are open and willing to try and learn some Parkour yourself, this is also a great opportunity to do so!
There will also be opportunities to immerse in our company culture, as well as finding other administrative roles that may be suitable for the others to join in. These tasks include gym maintenance, woodworking, assisting in media-related works with our media manager, front desk administration, customer service, and other miscellaneous tasks.
We welcome Career Trial jobseekers to also suggest where they best feel they can
contribute to clock in more hours with us.
