Pickleball Coach at Special Olympics North Carolina

Opportunity Overview Special Olympics Johnson County in North Carolina is recruiting volunteer pickleball coaches, assistant coaches, and unified partners to work with local athletes who have intellectual disabilities. The program aims to launch a weekly practice at a local pickleball court where athletes can learn and develop their skills. The exact court location and practice times are still being determined, depending on coach availability and court access. This is a volunteer coaching role, not a paid position. The commitment runs approximately 8 weeks, with typically one 1-hour practice each week. Coaches also attend one weekend tournament in November at the Special Olympics North Carolina Fall Tournament. You can coach on your own, team up with a co-coach, or bring an assistant, whatever arrangement works best for you. Special Olympics is a global organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. The North Carolina chapter, known as SONC, serves thousands of athletes across the state through local county programs like the one in Johnson County. Volunteers are the backbone of this operation, and coaches are considered the heart of the program because they work directly with athletes at every practice and competition. Johnson County sits in eastern North Carolina, a rural area with a slower pace of life and a warm climate. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are mild. The cost of living is well below the national average, and the community is tight-knit. For volunteers, the work is local and flexible, so there is no relocation or travel burden beyond the state-level tournament in November. The best part of this role is that you never pay for anything. Wayne County Special Olympics provides all equipment, uniforms, coaching shirts, and supplies, and travel expenses for state-level competitions are covered. The only thing you need to bring is pickleball knowledge, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude. Special Olympics provides the training you need to become a successful coach.

Special Olympics NC: Bocce Coaches & Assistant Coaches - Stanly County

Opportunity Overview Special Olympics North Carolina is recruiting bocce coaches and assistant coaches for Stanly County to train local athletes with intellectual disabilities. The season runs through mid-November, with the state competition hosted in the Charlotte Region from November 12th to 14th. Coaches are expected to attend that competition with their athletes. The role is volunteer-based and built around a few hours each month. You bring game knowledge, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude. Special Olympics provides the training you need to be a successful coach, so deep bocce experience is not required.

Special Olympics North Carolina is part of the global Special Olympics movement, which serves more than five million athletes across over 190 countries.

In North Carolina alone, thousands of athletes participate in local, regional, and state events, supported by a network of volunteer coaches and assistants. Stanly County sits in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, roughly halfway between Charlotte and Greensboro. It is a rural area with small towns, farmland, and a slower pace of life. The Charlotte Region competition will bring teams together from across the area, so you will be part of a wider community of coaches and athletes. Exact practice locations are shared by staff once you sign up, and the schedule is flexible enough to fit around work or school. Benefits - Free coach training provided by Special Olympics, covering sport skills and coaching techniques - The chance to build meaningful relationships with local athletes and see them grow over the season - A role that enriches your community through sport, with a few hours per month commitment - The opportunity to attend the Charlotte Region state competition on November 12th to 14th Eligibility - Must be at least 18 years old to become a certified coach - No prior coaching experience required, only a basic knowledge of bocce - Must be available for practices and events through mid-November - Must be able to attend the state competition in the Charlotte Region from November 12th to 14th - Must be passionate, dedicated, and willing to bring a positive attitude to each practice and event How to Apply 1.

Administrative Assistant

Opportunity Overview The University of Michigan is hiring an Administrative Assistant to support its daily operations across multiple departments. This role sits at the center of a large public research university that enrolls more than 50,000 students across campuses in Ann Arbor, Flint, and Dearborn. The university is one of the oldest in the United States, founded in 1817, and operates one of the country's top academic medical centers, so administrative work here touches everything from classroom scheduling to hospital coordination. The job involves handling the kind of work that keeps a big institution running: managing calendars, organizing files, coordinating meetings, and supporting staff across departments like human resources, finance, and operations. You would work closely with executives and department heads, which means strong organizational skills and attention to detail matter more than any specific technical background. The university lists this position under tags that span HR, finance, legal, medical, and technical support, so the actual day-to-day could shift depending on which unit you land in. This is an on-campus role in Michigan. Ann Arbor, where the main campus sits, is a college town with a cost of living roughly 15 percent above the national average. Winters are cold and snowy, with temperatures often below freezing from December through February. The university is the largest employer in the region, and it offers stable public-sector work with the benefits that come with a major state institution. Public universities in the U.S. typically require work authorization for international applicants, and the university's HR office handles visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis depending on the role and the candidate's qualifications. The University of Michigan is a public institution with an endowment exceeding $17 billion, one of the largest in American higher education. It consistently ranks among the top public universities in the country for research spending, pulling in over $1.7 billion in annual research expenditures. That scale means administrative staff work alongside faculty and researchers who are leaders in fields from engineering to public health. The university also runs Michigan Medicine, a health system that includes three hospitals and more than 100 clinics, so administrative roles here can involve healthcare operations as easily as academic scheduling. Responsibilities - Manage calendars and schedule meetings for executives and department staff - Organize and maintain digital and physical filing systems for department records - Prepare correspondence, memos, and reports for internal distribution - Coordinate travel arrangements and process expense reports - Serve as the first point of contact for phone calls, emails, and in-person visitors - Support HR processes such as onboarding paperwork and time sheet collection - Track budgets and assist with basic financial record keeping for the department - Liaise between departments including finance, legal, and operations to keep projects moving Requirements & Qualifications - High school diploma or equivalent required; associate or bachelor's degree preferred - At least one year of administrative or office support experience - Proficiency with Microsoft Office, especially Outlook, Word, and Excel - Strong written and verbal communication skills - Ability to handle confidential information with discretion - Experience with scheduling software or university systems is a plus - U.S. work authorization required; visa sponsorship determined on a case-by-case basis Benefits - Health, dental, and vision insurance through the university's benefits package - Retirement savings plan with university contributions - Paid time off including vacation days and sick leave - Tuition assistance for employees pursuing further education - Access to university facilities and campus resources How to Apply 1. Review the full job description on the University of Michigan careers portal to confirm the specific department and location. 2. Prepare your resume and a brief cover letter highlighting your administrative experience. 3. Click the Apply button below to submit your application.

Senior Vice President Coach

Opportunity Overview Fulchester Consultants is recruiting a Senior Vice President Coach for a global leader in the education and medical sectors. This is a remote role with occasional travel required. The position blends executive coaching with strategic leadership, aimed at someone who can guide senior leaders while also shaping organizational direction. The day-to-day work involves working closely with C-suite executives and high-potential managers. You would assess leadership styles, identify gaps in performance, and design coaching plans that produce measurable results. The role also touches on operational strategy, since the partner organization operates across both education and healthcare, two fields where leadership quality directly affects outcomes. Expect to facilitate workshops, run one-on-one sessions, and report progress to boards or steering committees. Fulchester Consultants is an executive search and advisory firm that places senior talent and provides organizational consulting. They work across industries, but this particular engagement focuses on a multinational player in education and medical services. The partner organization runs schools, training programs, and healthcare facilities, so the coaching work spans both academic leadership and clinical administration. That means you would work with people who manage teachers, doctors, nurses, and administrative staff. Working remotely from anywhere is possible, but occasional travel means you should be comfortable with short international trips. The education and medical sectors operate on tight schedules, so expect some flexibility in hours to accommodate meetings across time zones. If you are based outside the company's home country, you would need to handle your own visa and tax arrangements, as this is a contractor-style engagement rather than a traditional employment setup. Benefits - Fully remote work arrangement with flexible scheduling - Occasional international travel covered by the client - Opportunity to work with C-suite leaders in education and healthcare - Exposure to both academic and clinical leadership challenges - Contract-based engagement with a global consulting firm Eligibility - Minimum 10 years of executive leadership experience - Proven track record coaching senior leaders or executives - Background in education, healthcare, or both - Strong understanding of organizational operations and strategy - Excellent communication and facilitation skills - Ability to travel occasionally, including internationally - Comfort working independently in a remote environment - Experience with board-level reporting and stakeholder management Required Documents - Updated resume or CV highlighting executive coaching experience - Cover letter describing your coaching philosophy and relevant sector experience - References from past coaching clients or employers How to Apply 1. Prepare your resume, cover letter, and references. 2. Submit your application through the Fulchester Consultants hiring process. 3. Click the Apply button below to submit your application.
