About the Role

As a gymnastics coach at Armadale Gymnastics Club, you will be responsible for delivering safe, engaging and progressive gymnastics classes while fostering a positive learning environment.

Our coaches are expected to demonstrate professionalism, enthusiasm and initiative, ensuring every gymnast receives quality instruction and encouragement throughout their gymnastics journey.

Key responsibilities include:

- Maintaining appropriate supervision, class management and safety standards at all times.
- Monitoring gymnast progression and providing constructive feedback to support individual development.
- Working collaboratively with fellow coaches, management and other club representatives.
- Following all club policies, procedures, child safeguarding requirements and coaching expectations.
- Assisting with equipment preparation, set-up and pack-away as required.
- Demonstrating initiative and ensuring time spent on the gym floor is productive, purposeful and focused on gymnast development.

Essential Requirements

To be considered for this position, applicants must:

- Hold a current Gymnastics WA recognised coaching accreditation.
- Have previous experience working with children, either through gymnastics coaching or other relevant child-focused roles.
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Australian Levels Program (WAG ALP) Manual.
- Have knowledge of the Starmites Club Levels Manual, including appropriate skill progressions and expectations.
- Hold a current, approved Working With Children Check (WWCC), or be eligible and willing to obtain one.
- Be available to participate in our rotating equipment set-up roster, approximately one Friday evening per month.
- Be committed to maintaining a safe, professional and child-focused coaching environment.

The Qualities We're Looking For

Qualifications and experience are important, but we're equally interested in finding someone who will be a great fit within our coaching team and club culture.





Our ideal candidate will:

Be a team player. Work positively and respectfully alongside other coaches, contribute to a supportive workplace and understand the importance of working together to achieve the best outcomes for our gymnasts.

Show initiative. Be proactive, motivated and capable of identifying what needs to be done without always requiring direction. We value coaches who make productive use of their time on the gym floor and actively contribute to the smooth running of classes.

Be open-minded and adaptable. Understand that every gymnastics club operates differently, with its own policies, procedures and expectations. We are looking for someone who is willing to learn, embrace our club's approach and adapt their coaching practices where required.

Be committed to professional growth. Show enthusiasm for learning new coaching techniques, participating in professional development opportunities and continually improving their knowledge and abilities.

Have excellent communication skills. Build positive relationships with gymnasts, parents, fellow coaches and management while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.

Be reliable and professional. Demonstrate punctuality, consistency, accountability and a genuine commitment to the responsibilities of the role.

Put gymnasts first. Above all, we want coaches who genuinely enjoy working with children, celebrate individual achievements and understand that gymnastics should be a safe, positive and rewarding experience for every participant.

Why Armadale Gymnastics Club?

It's about building confidence, encouraging resilience, creating friendships and helping young people achieve things they never thought possible.

We are proud of the club community we have built and are committed to continuing to develop both our gymnasts and our coaching team.

Whether you're an experienced competitive coach looking for a new opportunity or an accredited coach eager to develop your skills in a supportive environment, we'd love to hear from you!
