About The Role –
At UoN we have a Vision to be the best UK University for Sport. For the Participation team, this means maximising engagement in sport for all. The Sport Outreach role will work in partnership with the university Residential Experience team to drive participation from students living in Halls encouraging them to utilise their Active Living package, facilitating friendships and improving wellbeing. The role will also focus on creating meaningful insight driven interventions that open up sport and physical activity to International Students which will not only encourage greater participation in sport but strengthen community and sense of belonging.
Our approach places students at the heart of everything we do. This role will play a positive role in student experience by facilitating friendships, creating a sense of community, and fostering belonging among residents.

- Embed current UoN Sport programmes into Active Living and work with other teams and departments to encourage engagement (IMS, Just Play, Clubs, Gym, etc).
- Devise systems for the collection of data, feedback, registration, and attendance for all programmes and events.
- Review and evaluate international student engagement in sport and physical activity to understand current levels of engagement, perceived value, impact, and the barriers to our programmes.
- Develop a strategic plan to support the increased engagement of international students in sport and physical activity, liaising with key stakeholders to ensure successful delivery of outcomes across all three University campuses.
- Support ResX cultural events and build in sporty elements.
- Lead on the recruitment, management, training, and work programmes of part-time student ambassadors.
- Manage and be accountable for a delegated budget, ensuring that expenditure is within agreed limits.
- Embed monitoring and evaluation into programs to measure the impact of interventions (e.g. Sense of Belonging, friendships, wellbeing).
