Contract
Full Time
Closing date: 17th February 2025
SportsAid supports over 1,000 athletes each year – the vast majority aged 12 to 18 – by providing them with a financial award to help towards training and competition costs. This acts as a real motivational boost as it is often the first recognition they receive outside of their support network. Most of them rely heavily on their parents as they have no other funding.
These athletes are Great Britain's brightest sporting prospects. They are nominated to SportsAid by the national governing bodies of more than 60 sports based on set criteria from each. The typical value of a SportsAid award is £1,000 with money generated through a combination of commercial partnerships, trust and charitable funds, and fundraising activities.
The charity delivers personal development opportunities to many athletes through workshop sessions. This sees them offered mentoring by Olympians and Paralympians while gaining advice from industry experts on performance lifestyle management, mental wellbeing, practical nutrition, restful sleep and telling your story through the media to help with their profile and further sponsorship.
Can you help young athletes beat their personal best?
Then come and join a small team of doers, who have banned red tape, silos, politics and “computer says no” scenarios to work for a really uplifting cause. At SportsAid we exist to encourage, enable and empower the next generation of athletes to achieve their ambitions in sport and life. For decades, we have been side by side with Britain’s greatest emerging sporting talent, from Mo Farah to Jessica Ennis-Hill to Ade Adepitan, Paula Radcliffe and so many others to give them vital support before they became Olympian and Paralympian stars.
We are looking to appoint a Digital Communications & Content Manager to play a pivotal role in reshaping the way we communicate and we engage young athletes and SportsAid’s supporters. You will develop a communications plan, and develop and deliver creative content to interest, engage and inspire and galvanise support for SportsAid.
Does this sound like you?
The salary is £40,000,000-45,000 p.a. and opportunities for flexible or remote working are available.
