About London Sport

London Sport is a charity working to ensure more Londoners live longer, healthier and happier lives through being active.

Supported by Sport England and the Mayor of London, we collaborate with those who share our vision, running and supporting projects that help children, young people and the least active adults embed sport and physical activity into their lives.

Join the London Sport Team

London's diversity is its biggest asset. That’s why London Sport champions equality and strives to reflect our capital’s diversity in our Board and staff appointments.

We particularly welcome applications from individuals from diverse backgrounds, ethnic minority groups, disabled people and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

At London Sport, you’ll be part of a group of people who believe that we can change the lives of Londoners for the better through sport and physical activity.

We also believe in activity in the workplace. Our office is part of the House of Sport, a three story coworking space founded by London Sport to provide physical activity and sport organisations in London with a base to collaborate, network and learn from one another.

Along with our partners across the building, we are proud of a working culture that supports people to be active, whether that’s through early morning yoga classes, lunchtime HIIT sessions, or post-work runs.

We’re constantly challenging the sports industry to think more creatively about the ways that it works for London, and we include ourselves in that challenge too. If we’re not thinking creatively, we’re not thinking clearly enough about what matters for Londoners.

In recent years, we’ve had a run of successes which we’re excited to build on going forward. From the growth of our landmark London Sport Awards to our commitment to helping children form an active habit for life, we’re proud to be part of a growing and increasingly important movement to bring activity to people all across London.

We’re looking for colleagues who will challenge us, encourage us, and work with us to enable every community in London to reap the benefits of an active life.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We are focussed on ensuring that our workforce is representative of the communities we serve
