About Us

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 or sport focused. All the clubs we support
are invited to join our Inclusive Club Network. A copy of our 2022-2027
growth strategy, Stand for Inclusion, which provides further details
about our work and future development plans, can be found here on our
website.

In 2025/26 Access Sport engaged over 40,000 disadvantaged and
disabled young people, with a strong representation from ethnically
diverse communities, girls, and previously less active young people.

Read more about our impact in our Annual Review. A number of videos
showcasing our work can be found on our YouTube channel.

About The Role

Access Sport is looking to appoint two members of staff to support the
delivery and development of our Changing Sports work, supporting
community sports clubs and organisations to create more inclusive,
welcoming and accessible opportunities for children and young people.

We are recruiting at either Community Coordinator or Development
Manager level. The core purpose and focus of the roles will be the same,
with the level of responsibility reflecting the successful candidates’ skills,
experience and capabilities.

Our Changing Sports programmes work in partnership with National
Governing Bodies (NGBs), community clubs and other organisations to
develop and embed inclusive approaches within individual sports. The
programme focuses particularly on creating meaningful opportunities
for disabled and disadvantaged children and young people to
participate, progress and develop through sport.

The post holders will work closely with our existing sport partners to
strengthen and grow established inclusive offers, while identifying
opportunities to develop new partnerships and sports. This will include
supporting projects such as McDonald’s Fun Football, Tryz Rugby, Flyerz
Hockey, Climbz - Inclusive Climbing, Acez Tennis, Wavez Swimming, and
Wingz Cycling alongside other emerging projects.

These are delivery-focused roles, suited to people who enjoy building
strong relationships, working directly with community organisations and
translating insight and best practice into practical change.
