London (hybrid working)

About Us

Sported is a leading charity supporting the UK's largest network of sport and physical activity groups and we exist to provide the skills, resources and funding needed for them to become sustainable and deliver services to the young people and communities they serve.

It has never been a harder time to be a young person growing up in the UK. Poverty, crime and mental health issues coupled with youth unemployment and COVID-19, have compounded already disadvantaged communities and individuals and widened inequalities.

We support the thousands of community sports groups that seek to remove barriers from young people’s lives to allow them to thrive against the odds.

We’re now looking for a Strategic Lead to join our team in London on a full-time, permanent basis.

The Benefits
- Salary of £40,000 per annum (plus £4,000 London Weighting)
- 25 days’ holiday in addition to statutory Bank Holidays
- Two additional days of personal leave per year for religious holidays and/or wellbeing days
- Volunteer Days - two additional days of paid leave each year to volunteer for another charity or our Sported members
- Up to five days of paid study leave for self-funded education/training
- Flexible working arrangements
- A confidential counselling service
- Access to a pension scheme to give you peace of mind
- Virtual Diversity & Inclusion ‘Open Space’ every month
- Cycle to Work Scheme to support our commitment to promoting healthy living
- Discounted offer for a 12-month Tastecard+ membership

This is an amazing opportunity for a passionate individual with a voluntary, community or sport background and experience developing and driving strategy to join our dedicated organisation.

We know that sport and physical activity can have wide ranging benefits for young people, communities and society. Your work will have a direct impact on the support we provide to thousands of community sports groups, helping young people to thrive.

We’ll support you in all your personal and professional ambitions and aim to provide you with everything you need to excel, whether that’s flexible working arrangements, time off to volunteer or a confidential counselling service.

The Role

As a Strategic Lead, you will shape, lead and deliver our profile and programme to support community sports groups in London.

You will generate and manage key partnerships and projects, including the GLA, London Marathon Foundation, Sport England and the City Bridge Trust, ensuring they are delivered efficiently and effectively and all monitoring and evaluation requirements are met.
