School Sport Development Officer

As our School Sport Development Officer you’ll be responsible for planning, promoting and delivering a programme of events throughout the academic year within the primary and secondary sports enrichment programme. Our enrichment programme is exciting and varied, designed to encourage every young person to explore new things, develop their passions and discover their talents for life beyond school. That is why the enrichment programme is embedded into everything we do within the Trust and we need someone to co-ordinate our primary and secondary activities to run smoothly in the South of the Trust.
