Sport Development Assistant (Graduate)

We are recruiting for a Sports Development Assistant to join the newly formed Sport and Physical Activity Team within WLV Sport. This is an exciting time to join the team and the university as we have a new strategy to achieve more ‘More People, More Active’ and are building a framework to achieve it.

In this role, you will assist in the delivery of sport and physical activity in its broadest sense including active wellbeing, participation, sports operations and facilities and our activator and volunteer programmes. In doing so, you will gain an insight to the whole sports operation and gain valuable experience across all areas.

We require an enthusiastic, committed and creative individual who will bring a drive and commitment to enhance the student and end user experience. Ideally, you will be a recent graduate from a sports degree that has a passion to gain their first full time role within a sports development/ operations context.
