Project Resilience provides easily accessible opportunities for our hostel residents to take part in a variety of social and sporting activities, helping to improve their overall health, wellbeing and confidence.

You will need:
- Previous experience of playing, coaching or leading badminton sessions.
- The ability to work as part of a team as well as on your own initiative.
- An empathetic and understanding approach to working with vulnerable residents who may have varying levels of fitness and sporting ability.

- Mandatory e-learning and access to a range of optional training opportunities.
