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 aims to tackle the root causes preventing disadvantaged and/or disabled young people from accessing sport through a range of projects which are either place-specific or sport-specific. 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

Role Purpose

About Access Sport’s Training and Learning Offer
Our Training and Learning is designed for anyone involved in organising and delivering sport and activity for children and young people, and to develop new young leaders from our communities.

Our Training and Learning offer includes two streams:
1) Inclusion Learning
We provide training to coaches, volunteers and others who work with children and young people to put inclusivity at the core of their sport and physical activity delivery. We currently run Inclusion Learning focused on Disability Inclusion and Neurodivergence Inclusion. We also have a Young Women and Girls offer which is being refreshed.

2) Young Leaders Training
Our Young Leaders training is designed to develop teamwork, communication and leadership skills of young people who may not typically access these. We work with partner organisations and education settings to identify cohorts of young people who will most benefit, including SEN Schools, Pupil-Referral Units, Alternative Provision, and community partners.

Role Summary 

We have ambitious goals to grow our Training and Learning offer and are seeking Inclusion Learning Facilitators (“Facilitators”) to join our team. Facilitators will play a core role in delivering Access Sport’s Inclusion Learning offer to the community sport sector. This currently includes Disability Inclusion, Neurodivergence Inclusion and Young Leaders Training, with further content in development, as above. Participants in our Inclusion Learning include those who provide sport and physical activity for children and young people – including sports coaches, club volunteers, leisure operators, National Governing Bodies and beyond. Our Young Leaders Training engages targeted cohorts of young people, including groups from SEN Schools, Pupil-Referral Units, Alternative Provision, and targeted community partners.
