Cardiff Met Sport
Cardiff Met Sport is the driving force behind sport, physical activity, health & wellbeing in Wales’ Capital City. Our mission is clear - ‘to profoundly enhance the lives of our communities, making them healthier and stronger as an outcome of engaging with us’. We work in partnership with a range of local, regional, and national partners to develop and manage sector leading sport facilities including, the National Indoor Athletics Centre, Tennis Centre, and Archers Arena on our Cyncoed Campus along with a number of 21st Century Schools across the City.
We also strategically lead the delivery of a wide variety of cutting-edge development programmes across schools, communities, clubs, workforce, and health & wellbeing both on our campuses and throughout Cardiff. To continue to achieve all of this, we need ‘game changers’, people with drive, passion, creativity, and flair who see hurdles rather than problems, can think differently and want to make a positive and lasting impact on people’s lives, in Wales and beyond.
