Sport, Recreation and Playwork
Are you a super-fit person, always at the gym? Do you enjoy being outdoors and getting everyone involved in a sport or physical activity? Then why not think about a job in sport and active leisure. You could soon be helping people learn or improve a skill, enjoy themselves and keep fit.
Perhaps you could be running sessions or leading classes, taking bookings or processing payments, but as you gain experience you could qualify as a fitness instructor or personal trainer, a sports development officer, sports coach or even a safety officer at your favourite football club.
Whatever activity you're involved in, you might be quite tired at the end of the day but you'll probably have enjoyed yourself more than many people do at work.
