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 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. These
include a recent film about Access Sport and an episode from our Youth
Board’s recent Changemakers series.

About The Role

Access Sport is looking for a Community Coordinator to support the
delivery of our growing youth leadership and club development work in
London. This is an exciting opportunity to play a hands-on role in helping
community sports clubs create meaningful opportunities for young
people to lead, shape, and influence the activities and communities they
are part of.

This role sits within a new and evolving national approach to youth voice
and youth leadership, designed to embed co-production and shared
decision-making across community sport. You will work directly with local
clubs to help them develop inclusive environments where young people
are supported to take on leadership roles, share their views, and
progress into coaching, volunteering, advocacy and governance
pathways.

The postholder will work closely with our Youth Advisors, club volunteers
and coaches to support the practical delivery of youth leadership
activity. This will include club visits, helping to organise local events,
delivering training, and ensuring that young people’s voices actively
shape practice at a local level.

This is a highly delivery-focused role, best suited to someone who enjoys
being in community settings, building relationships, and supporting young
people to take practical steps into leadership through sport.
