About this opportunity

Do you want to give something back to your community? If so, then this is the role for you!
Sported consultants are paired with community sports clubs who need expertise in various areas to become sustainable and increase their capacity. These opportunities are very flexible - from a 15-minute call with a club leader who has questions in your skills area, to a 6 month placement.
As a Sported volunteer, you’ll share your professional skills and expertise with community groups, having a huge effect on these clubs.
Full induction is offered, together with personal development opportunities, and you will join a network of skilled Sported consultants across the UK. You will help a diverse range of people and organisations and will receive support throughout from the Sported team.
Most importantly you will have fun!
