Home based within region
Support us in creating a world leading sport system that reaches, inspires and engages all young people – whatever their age or ability. That’s our aim at Youth Sport Trust (YST) and, if you join us, you’ll be helping youngsters in your region achieve their full potential by ensuring they have access to high quality physical education and sport.
You will establish and implement local level strategies in identified areas that positions our work to schools, equipping educators to make meaningful change in tackling inequalities and achieving wellbeing for young people. You will translate YST’s mission and national programmes through education networks within identified areas ensuring maximum impact with schools.
Engaging and working with schools across an identified area, you’ll champion and advocate for maximising their development of PE, School Sport and Physical Activity and how this improves wellbeing and raises achievement. You will also help to recruit and deploy our local advocates network to raise YST’s profile and influence at a deeper level locally. You will be expected to increase our influence into schools in areas of disadvantage and work with them to understand the benefits of being part of YSTs networks.
Much of your success will depend on you winning support from colleagues, schools and other influential stakeholders and organisations. You, therefore, must be able to express yourself persuasively in speech and writing, with the authority of impressive experience. A background of working in Education or Sports Development to tackle inequalities is essential. Your background should encompass providing development support to schools and implementing national programmes at a regional level. You certainly need to be familiar with education and sport policy, and the organisations that can help schools develop PE and sport.
You will have experience of providing high level development support to education/sport organisations as well as implementing and managing strategies that contribute to the development of an organisation to effectively deliver outcomes. You also have to know how to develop and use PE and sport to bring about positive outcomes for young people.
As a member of the team, we guarantee you will feel very much part of our mission and will experience fun, challenge and fulfilment in your role. Our values underpin everything we do, and we pride ourselves on a work culture which fosters innovation, creativity and personal passion. Benefits include generous annual leave entitlement, health cash plan, employee assistance programme and volunteering days.
If you possess all these attributes and share our passionate belief in the benefits of sport for young people, please go to www.youthsporttrust.org/careers and complete an online application.
The Youth Sport Trust believes that diversity drives excellence, and that representation is important. The Trust therefore positively welcomes and seeks to ensure we achieve diversity in our workforce and that all job applicants and employees receive equal and fair treatment. We encourage applications from all candidates regardless of age, race, gender, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or nationality.
