About Us
Access Sport is a national charity with a vision that no one should be excluded from the transformational benefits of community sport. We are on a mission to make inclusion the norm in community sport by tackling the access barriers faced by disadvantaged and disabled young people.
We do this by training, equipping, and supporting community sports clubs, organisations, and volunteers to provide inclusive programmes, unleashing their potential to transform the lives of underserved young people in their local communities.
This work is either place based, Changing Places, or sport focussed, Changing Sports. All the clubs we support are invited to join our Inclusive Club Network. We then use the expertise gained through this work to effect System Change
About the Role
Access Sport is looking to appoint a Community Coach for our Changing Sports Cycling Programme in London. We believe every young person should have:
• Access to a bike.
• The skills and confidence to use it.
• Somewhere local, safe and exciting to enjoy riding.
We work across 3 areas:
• Facilities: We build exciting, accessible, and inclusive places to ride that are accessible to underserved communities and are free to use, with equipment on-site.
• Community Outreach: We deliver specialist cycle training to inactive, disadvantaged and disabled young people in local schools.
• Clubs: We empower local people to create cycling communities by developing regular and inclusive access to equipment and training.
The role will deliver across our outreach and club workstreams, delivering accessible and inclusive cycling sessions using BMX as a tool to engage and build confidence amongst inactive, underserved and disabled young people. The post holder will deliver outreach to local schools and groups at sites where we are developing a community club.
The role will also work alongside the Community Coordinator to support with the development, growth and sustainability of community cycling clubs in and around the London area.
