KICK INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME

What is the KICK Internship Programme?

With KICK moving national in 2021, we are committed to developing new leaders in sports ministry across the country through our latest Internship Programme. The KICK Internship is a 1-year bespoke programme which enables interns to be fully competent and job ready to deliver within Physical Education/Dance, Mentoring and Chaplaincy KICK contracts.

KICK interns will have a certain amount of learning time, shadowing and delivery time each week with the concept of paid independent delivery growing more as the programme develops. Interns will also have intensive internal training across all KICK services and placed on a minimum of one accredited sporting qualifications. Qualifications are separated into the themes and all have a relevance to the working job and requires self-study, practical or written exams which will be internally assessed and verified by the Quality team.

The Interns week will consist of 4 days of delivery and one day of study and lectures although the option of part time is availble. The day of study will be around our themes that have been chosen to optimise the development of the interns on the programme.

The Six Themes are:

Physical Education & Extra Curriculum provision

Solutions Focused Mentoring

Chaplaincy

Dance

Work Competency

High Level Teaching
