SPORT, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, FAITH, ADVENTURE, CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE, WELLBEING, FULLNESS OF LIFE, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, FUN.
One of our key objectives at Sportily is to develop and invest in young sports leaders. Over the past 18 months we’ve designed a pilot programme to enable this and trialled elements of it. We’re now looking for someone to further develop, shape and own our programme, to work alongside our network of Sport and Faith Coaches to deliver it and to hold leadership level responsibility for seeing the wildly important goals of the programme realised within our wider vision.
At the heart of this role you’ll hold Leadership Team level responsibility for the programme which provides opportunities, within a Christian sports centred setting and framework, for children, young people and young adults (with a priority on the more disadvantaged) to gain skills, experience, training and qualifications to increase their self-esteem, confidence and future employment opportunities. This will include responsibility for its ongoing development, leading its delivery approaches, training the Sport and Faith Team in its delivery, exploring opportunities related to the programme, monitoring and evaluating its impact and reporting this to stakeholders.
We are looking for someone who loves sport and understands how sport and movement is able to connect people and is passionate about sharing the Christian faith in innovative ways beyond the walls of traditional church. You’ll have experience in developing programmes and monitoring their successful achievement of stated objectives, and of investing in the leadership development potential of young people, ideally in a sporting context.
If you like the sound of Sportily and the role, but aren’t sure you’ve got everything we’re looking for, please get in touch as we’d love to discuss things with you. Who knows where that conversation might lead.
For the first-timers, the can’t catchers and the kick it outers.
For the slam dunkers, the back of the netters and the hole in oners.
We bring the energy that gets you moving.
