About Student Life at CIS

At Copenhagen International School, Student Life is an essential part of our students’ experience. Through sports, creative activities, and community engagement, we aim to inspire curiosity, teamwork, and personal growth beyond the classroom.

Our After School Activities (ASA) and Athletics programmes offer students a wide range of opportunities to explore new interests, develop skills, and build friendships in a safe, inclusive, and fun environment.

We regularly recruit passionate and reliable individuals to support our programmes as:

• Sports Coaches (for school teams and clubs)
• ASA Instructors (creative, academic, or recreational activities)
• Volunteers or support staff for community events

If you have a background in sports, education, youth work, or creative instruction – and enjoy working with children and young people in an international setting – we would love to hear from you.

General requirements

• Proven experience working with children or youth (preferably in an educational, coaching, or recreational setting)
• Good communication skills in English
• A valid residence and work permit for Denmark
• A clean criminal record and child certificate (to be provided before employment)
• At least three professional references from previous employment
