Derbyshire Cricket Foundation & Derbyshire County Cricket Club Job Opportunity
The Derbyshire Cricket Foundation, in partnership with Derbyshire County Cricket Club, is excited to recruit a passionate County Safeguarding & Anti-Discrimination Officer who truly cares about making cricket across Derbyshire a safe and welcoming place for all.
About Us:
Grassroots cricket is thriving in Derbyshire, with more played this year than in recent years, thanks to committed volunteers at 105 clubs and several leagues. Women’s and girls’ participation is rising rapidly, and more children play regularly than before the pandemic. We deliver cricket in over 100 primary schools and provide pathways for children who want to continue. We help clubs develop facilities, recruit volunteers, and create safe, welcoming spaces for diverse communities. Through formats such as table, street, softball, and walking cricket, we reach people who have historically been “missed out” on cricket and physical activity, including those with disabilities or long-term health conditions. We also reduce financial barriers and bring cricket to schools, parks, sports halls, and play areas across the county.
