Summary
Who are UK Sport?
We are the UK’s trusted high-performance experts, powering our greatest athletes, teams, sports and events to achieve positive success. Investing a combination of National Lottery and Government funds, we support our Olympic and Paralympic sports to realise their world-leading potential, and we are the government’s lead technical agency for major events in the UK. We work closely with our sporting, national and regional partners to ensure that the UK successfully bids for and stages some of the world’s biggest international sporting events. Our purpose is to lead high-performance sport to enable extraordinary moments that enrich lives.
We are on a mission – to create the greatest decade of extraordinary sporting moments; reaching, inspiring and uniting the nation. That mission is underpinned by three ambitions for UK high-performance sport; to keep winning and win well, to grow a thriving sporting system and to harness those to inspire positive change. Working with the sports and events we fund, DCMS, and our partner organisations across the UK high-performance system, we are building on 25 years of ever-growing success to write the UK’s next chapter for Olympic and Paralympic sport.

In this role, you’ll deliver high-quality supervision services to early-career practitioners, ,coaches and leaders across the high-performance system. You’ll play a key part in induction, quality assurance, learning and development signposting, and building peer networks that drive professional growth and system-wide consistency.
Key Responsibilities

• Ensure the Learning & Development offer is accessible, relevant, and effective for new or transitioning workforce.
• Collaborate with the Learning & Development team so supervision insights inform workforce strategies.
Peer Network Development
• Support creation and facilitation of peer learning communities and networks.
• Contribute to specialist working groups as required.
• Accelerate collaboration and knowledge sharing across practitioners, teams, and sports.
• Work with UK Sport Learning & Development and UK Sport Institute Performance Services to curate a global network of expertise that evolves excellence in practice.
