Sports Programme Coordinator

Sports Programme Co-ordinator 

Leicester (with regular travel to London)

£29,000 + performance bonus (up to £31,000)

Build something that matters.

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing charity and launch a brand-new community programme in Leicester.

Using the power of football, the organisation creates opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, helping them build confidence, develop life skills and feel part of their community.

In this role you''ll have real ownership from day one. You''ll build partnerships, lead local delivery and help establish a programme with ambitious plans for growth.

The Role

You''ll be responsible for launching and running the Leicester programme, working closely with the national team and two full-time coaches.

You''ll:

• Lead the day-to-day operation of the Leicester programme.
• Build partnerships with schools, businesses and community organisations.
• Coordinate football sessions, facilities, equipment and scheduling.
• Support and manage programme delivery with local coaches.
• Manage budgets, reporting and programme performance.
• Use data and feedback to improve participation and impact.

About You

We''re looking for someone who is ambitious, organised and enjoys taking ownership.

You''ll ideally have:

• Strong academic achievements and excellent problem-solving skills.
• Experience coordinating projects, events or operations.
• Outstanding organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Confidence building relationships with a variety of stakeholders.
• A proactive mindset and willingness to get stuck in.
• A genuine passion for football and its ability to bring communities together.

You don''t need to have worked in sport. In fact, candidates from consulting, professional services, finance, law, education or other structured environments are encouraged to apply if they''re looking to combine their skills with meaningful work.

Why Apply?

This is far more than a programme delivery role. You''ll have the opportunity to:

• Launch a brand-new operation from the ground up.
• Take genuine ownership from day one.
• Help shape the future of the organisation''s expansion.
• Make a lasting difference to thousands of young people.

Working Pattern

• Leicester-based with regular travel to London (typically 1–2 days per week)
• Core hours of approximately 8:30am–6:00pm.
• Flexibility to attend occasional evening and weekend events. 

If this sounds like the right opportunity for you, we''d love to hear from you. Apply today to be considered.
