Sport and Faith Leader - West Zone (Forest of Dean)

Fluff it. Duff it. Score it. Smash it. Whatever you do, just give it a go.

That’s our motto for sport and for life. We’re for jumping right in and going on new adventures together, as a team.

We believe that being more active, like the Christian faith, can change people’s lives forever. And so we’re here to get everyone moving and show them that things are a lot more fun when we’re kicking, diving, riding, rolling, running and jumping around together.

Will you join us?

SPORT, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, FAITH, ADVENTURE, CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE, WELLBEING, FULLNESS OF LIFE, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, FUN.

We’re looking for a Sport and Faith Leader to join our team, with responsibilities in our North Zone stretching across the North of Gloucester and Cheltenham.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about sport and physical activity and exploring faith with children, young people and their families. Are you someone who isn’t afraid to try new things, to think differently and help us to do that too as we undertake this journey together? We’re a growing organisation with new team members joining and new locations and projects launching.

The role consists of two core elements:

Sport and Faith Leader for the Forest of Dean
Holding responsibility for delivery of our vision across the Forest of Dean, coordinating and being involved in the delivery of the programme, liaising with schools, ensuring a quality of delivery is maintained and managing key stakeholder relationships.

West Zone Leader
Supporting and managing as a ‘peer practitioner’, Sport and Faith Coaches, Apprentices and Sessional Workers as they deliver the Sportily vision in the location. The team includes: Sport and Faith Coach (0.4, rising to 0.8), 2x Level 4 Apprentices (one new in post, one 12 months in post) and 4 Sessional Workers with established working patterns.

Our expectations are realistic, we are not looking for a super-human, just bring your gifts, skills, passion and experiences to join our adventure. You’ll work as part of a supportive team which will ensure you have sufficient resources to make a tangible difference across the role, without feeling stretched too thin and work alongside a peer group of other Zone Leaders.

If you like the sound of Sportily and the role, but aren’t sure you’ve got everything we’re looking for, please get in touch as we’d love to discuss things with you. Who knows where that conversation might lead.

For the first-timers, the can’t catchers and the kick it outers.
For the slam dunkers, the back of the netters and the hole in oners.
We bring the energy that gets you moving.
