We are looking for a highly organised and enthusiastic individual, who is passionate about health and wellbeing, sport, and physical activity; and ideally who will have some experience from working within the sports development, education, health and wellbeing, or sport for development sector. However, we have also, on occasion, trained and developed the right candidate who we feel has a high level of potential and the right behaviours (e.g. retired, semi-retired, career changers, parents looking for part-time work, forces veterans, or school/FE/HE leavers); therefore if you are interested just get in touch for an informal conversation to find out more about our work and these opportunities!
The role is varied, exciting, and rewarding and will require you to have energy and enthusiasm and to regularly deliver and engage within sport and physical activity sessions that engage and inspire children, young people, families, and underrepresented groups to become active.
This post is part of the Healthy and Active Fund (HAF) and is 30 hours per week, fixed term until 31st March 2023. There is some flexibility with the hours available, and the working patterns, most likely during the day Monday to Friday, with some evening and weekend work required. Candidates will be based at the Newport International Sports Village, with the agility to work citywide leading and supporting a wide range of projects, activities, and events.
