To create an established:

1) 5 hour gymnastics coach at Killamarsh Active to meet the
increased demand for gymnastics lessons

Reasons for the decision

To create new 5 hour contracted post to meet
the current and future demands on the gymnastics programme.

Current lesson programme is running at 90% capacity with a beginner
waiting list of 50 children

These costs will be covered by the increased income as set out in
the attached briefing note.

Costs of the post (inc. on-costs) would be £4,277.00 /year
(this is the revised 25/26 rate following the pay award)

Forecast annual income based on 5x new classes at 80% occupancy =
£19,108.00

Recruitment to be undertaken once approved and implementation
expected from September/October 2025. The post initially will be
covered through a short term temporary contract or casual cover
which we expect to move to a permanent post within 3 months.

This will be contained from within existing pay budgets.

The post will play a pivotal role in enhancing customer
satisfaction by delivering an improved gymnastics programme, while
also contributing to the continuous improvement and sustainability
of our high-performing services for younger people. In doing so, it
will directly support the achievement of key targets outlined in
both our corporate and service plans

Contributes To the Council Plan:
• A community with lifelong good health
• A place where people enjoy spending time
• Promoting healthy lifestyles, helping to reduce risk of ill
health and early death from major diseases like cancer, heart
disease, stroke, respiratory illness and diabetes.
• Provide an accessible and inclusive programme of activities
for residents.

Alternative options considered

The alternative would be to not fill the post
and lose the forecast income and participation
