Sport and Faith Leader - East Zone (Cirencester and Thameshead)

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.

This role involves leading, delivering and co-ordinating our work across our East Zone.

Currently this includes:
i. The work in Thameshead. This is well established with a very strong local advisory group working alongside the Benefice. This includes extensive work in a number of primary schools as well as community initiatives and the youth club in Kemble.
ii. The developing work in Cirencester which currently is based in the centre mostly through the Old Department Store and the land and schools around Cirencester Skate Park.
iii. The emerging work in the surrounding villages often linked to their village schools.

We envisage that the scale and scope of what is delivered will grow and develop and that a wider team will be developed to mirror our other zones. This team would include Sport and Faith Coaches, Sports Coach Apprentice, Sessional Workers, Placement Students and local volunteers. As the scale of what is delivered grows so will this team.

You’ll be supported in your role by a peer group of four other Sport and Faith Zone leaders and the Sportily Leadership and Support Teams.

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.
