Sports Coordinator
College location: East Surrey College/John Ruskin College
Salary: £26,366 per annum
Hours: Monday and Friday - 8:45 to 5:00 pm
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and proactive Sports Coordinator to plan, deliver and coordinate a high-quality programme of sport, physical activity and fitness-based enrichment opportunities that enhance student engagement, wellbeing and participation across the college group.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about sport and student wellbeing to make a real difference. You’ll play a key role in enhancing student engagement, attendance, and overall experience, using sport and physical activity as a powerful tool to support learners — particularly those who may be struggling with motivation, behaviour or attendance. From organising competitions and inclusive enrichment activities to supporting student transition into college life, this is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same.
