About The Role
Active US is an exciting project developed by Sussexsport and supported by the Students’ Union, which will be returning for its 13th year in September 2026.
The aim of Active US is to increase Sussex students’ regular participation in sport and physical activity, keeping students engaged when they transition from school or college to university and throughout their time at university.
To help deliver this project Sussexsport requires an enthusiastic and self-motivated student to deliver the running of weekly sport specific sessions, one off events and sports leagues.
Due to the nature of the work involved, any individual undertaking this role is considered to be engaging in “regulated activity” as defined in the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, and as such will be required to undergo an Enhanced level DBS check with a children’s barred list check.
About You
This person should have knowledge of multiple sports and ideally would have experience in either playing or coaching. Full training will be provided to aid the student to deliver the sessions as well as first aid training. The successful candidate should be able to demonstrate good time keeping skills, organisational skills, communication skills, a willingness to work with others and a passion to get other University of Sussex students active and participating in their chosen sport.
