Professional Volunteer

  • VO93803


Description

Representation matters, which is why we want our volunteers to reflect the diversity of the community groups we work with. We’re actively encouraging applicants from ethnically diverse backgrounds to apply as we are currently under-represented in this space.

You will meet the inspirational faces of community groups across the UK and immerse yourself in their work; use your existing skills whilst developing new ones; guide members to become more inclusive; network with like-minded individuals helping grassroots clubs. You'll use your professional skills to help groups overcome operational challenges, become better equipped for the future, and tackle inequality in sport.

Our roles are quite flexible and work around your schedule. We only share opportunities we think are relevant to you. With most of our volunteering support being delivered digitally, it’s even easier to get started supporting members across our network, to help sports groups survive; and so much more.

Organisation aims and objectives

Sported are one of the leading Sport for Change charities in the UK, helping more than 3,000 community sport and youth groups survive and thrive. Our members use the power of sport to transform the lives of disadvantaged young people and build stronger, safer communities. We support these groups to become more sustainable and increase their capacity.
