Part-Time Coach BFT Hawthorn

Are you the coach people look forward to seeing?

You're a people person. You like being around people. People like being around you.

You can get to know someone in a few minutes, work out what they need and shape how you coach them, even when you're running a room of 20 people with 20 different goals. From uni students to retirees, busy parents to business execs, you make everyone feel seen and want to come back.

You walk the walk. You live the BFT way and you're not afraid to get in and train with members during your own training time.

You also want to keep developing your craft and bettering the community around you. If that's you, keep reading.

We don’t train people. We coach them.

At Hawthorn, people deserve more than a random workout. They deserve to be coached, connected with and seen. Coach. Connect. Care. That's our edge.

Our team wrote our values together. They aren't words on a poster. We hold each other to them every day.

What you’ll get

• Regular part-time hours, building to 15 to 20 per week once you've settled in, with the leave entitlements that come with part-time work

• Close mentoring from our Head Coach and senior coaches to hone your craft

• A professional development (PD) allowance to invest in your coaching craft

• A team that already knows how to support a new coach properly

The role and shifts

You'll connect with our community and your fellow coaches, deliver detailed coaching and help create a space people want to return to.

A typical week is approx. 2 morning shifts and 2 evening shifts. Friday evenings are required.

• Evenings: Monday to Friday, approx. 5:00pm to 8:15pm (Fridays approx. 5:00pm to 7:15pm)

• Mornings: approx. 5:00am to 7:30am, 5:00am to 10:30am or 6:00am to 10:30am, depending on the day

• Saturdays: approx. 6:15am to 11:00am

• Sundays: the occasional opportunity, such as Hyrox training sessions

Who you’d be joining

We're a top BFT studio in Victoria that has grown each of the last four years.

Our team includes a Studio Manager and Head Coach, a hands-on Studio Owner and an experienced coaching team that genuinely has each other's backs. You're not just filling a shift, you're joining a team (and a community) that wants to see you succeed.

How we work

• Say hi first. Every member, every time.

• Coach the individual, then the program. Know their "why" and coach them to it.

• Prepare. Execute. Follow through. Know the program, coach it well and leave the floor ready for the next coach.

• Do the 1%ers. We do the small things consistently, so we don't add more for the people behind us.

• Own it. Move forward. Own mistakes, learn and let them go. If someone's having an off day, we've got them.

• Be their best part. Make this the best part of someone's day, every time.

What you need on day one

• Current Certificate III/IV in Fitness (or equivalent recognised qualification)

• Current First Aid and CPR certification

• Availability for evening sessions (including Fridays) and morning sessions, with flexibility for Saturdays

• The right to work in Australia

• 2+ years of industry experience preferred, but not essential for the right person

If these values sound like you, apply

We hire for values first, so don't worry if your resume isn't perfect.

• You genuinely like people. It shows in the first 30 seconds

• You lead without waiting to be asked

• You're humble enough to take feedback and confident enough to own a mistake

• You show up consistently, even on the days it's hard
