Job Description

What We Actually Do

We create the experiences international students talk about for years. The moment a shy French girl who wouldn't make eye contact becomes the loudest cheerleader. When an German boy afraid of failing hits his first ball and discovers newfound confidence. When language barriers disappear and strangers become friends.

This isn't about teaching perfect cricket technique. It's about transformation.

Teachers consistently tell us our sessions are the highlight of their entire UK trip - not because we're excellent cricket coaches (though we are), but because we create the space where students surprise themselves.

FAQs

Q: I don't know much about cricket. Can I still apply?

A: YES! If you have the right mindset and people skills, we'll teach you everything you need to know about cricket. We've trained facilitators who'd never played before.

Q: I'm a student. Does this work around my schedule?

A: Absolutely. Many of our facilitators are students. You choose which sessions you're available for.

Q: What if English isn't my first language?

A: That can actually be an advantage! Many of our students don't speak English fluently either. If you can communicate enthusiasm and energy, you'll be great.

Q: Do I need coaching qualifications?

A: Nice to have, but not essential. We provide full training. Your attitude and approach matter more than certificates.

Q: What's the earning potential?

A: Depends on your availability. If you do 2-3 sessions per week at 25/hour for 2-3 hours each, that's 100-225 per week. More available during peak season (March-October).

Q: Is this a long-term role?

A: It can be! Some facilitators work with us for years. Others use it as flexible work around other commitments. Both are fine.

Our Mission

Through cricket-based cultural immersion, we create the breakthrough moments that teachers thank us for, parents treasure in photos, and students talk about for years.

We're not teaching cricket. We're creating fearless young people.

If that excites you, we want to hear from you.
