SportsAid therefore positively welcomes, and seeks to achieve, diversity in our workforce and that all job applicants, volunteers and employees receive equal and fair treatment.  We positively encourage applications from all candidates regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, disability, marriage and civil partnership status, gender identity, background, religion, faith, sexual orientation, maternity status, pregnancy, belief or nationality.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Please apply with your CV and one page outlining:

1. Tell us about the community fundraising or alumni engagement activity you are most proud of and why?

2. Your thoughts on what you consider the most difficult aspect of relationship fundraising 

3. If you could change something you did in a previous fundraising or alumni engagement role, what would that be?
