A NEW part-time job opportunity has opened up with Morton in the Community, who are currently recruiting for an extra time programme lead.

The post, based across primary schools and community venues in Inverclyde, will be focused on delivering inclusive after-school multi-sport sessions and workshops. 

The successful applicant will also help organise day trips and holiday camps, supporting children aged 4 to 11 with sessions that encourage confidence, healthy lifestyles, and teamwork.

Good communication, a commitment to inclusion and the ability to work afternoons and early evenings are all essential.

Additional training in first aid, safeguarding or SFA coaching is desirable.

The role is 20 hours a week on a fixed term basis through to March 2026, with an expected start date in October. 

Interviews will be held the week after applications close.

To apply, candidates should submit a CV and short cover letter to blair@mortoncommunity.net explaining their motivation and relevant experience. 

Applications must be submitted before 12pm on Friday, September 5.
