Description
We are looking for a Sports Development Assistant to join our Communities Team as we look to embed sport development within the students’ union.
Community and belonging are the bedrocks of ensuring students success whilst at University and sport teams and CityActive plays a crucial role in developing this at City.
We’re looking for someone to support the development of our sports teams to grow their membership, create more inclusive communities and increase participation in sport. In this role you will be responsible for delivering the administration of sports teams to ensure the successful running of match days.
You will be the primary liaison with sports captains, university administrators and umpires, provide weekly fixture confirmation, process umpire payments and prepare necessary arrangements to ensure sport teams and Individuals arrive at home and away games.
This will require excellent organisational skills, prioritisation and time management abilities. A strong understanding of health and safety is a must! In this role you will also provide support and development to students involved in sport. Whether that is organising the sport captains training day, ensuring our sport leaders are trained in first aid, providing insight through annual feedback surveys or providing 1-2-1 support to sport captains on events and budgeting; you will be at the frontline of supporting our students involved in sport to success.
You will work on site, mainly at our Northampton Square office with occasional work at CitySport and other sites as per the needs of our students.
This is a student facing role so being on campus is essential to make sure students get to know you, the Communities Team and to make sure they feel supported by us.
