About Us

Sported is a charity that delivers expertise, resources, and vital support to organisations that use sport and physical activity to make a positive impact on young people – and on our communities.

Our primary conduit is a network of clubs and groups that reached almost one million young people across the UK in 2023-24. Through support, resources, and funding – all provided at no cost – we create social impact and lower the barriers that prevent our next generation from realising their full potential. Working with trusted local leaders across the communities we serve, we provide solutions through our team, backed up by a pool of volunteer consultants who offer professional support.

We are now looking for a Northern Ireland (NI) Delivery Officer to join us on a part-time, permanent basis, working 22.5 hours per week over three days.

The Benefits

- Salary of £26,500 - £28,000 per annum, depending on experience (pro rata)
- 25 days’ holiday in addition to statutory Bank Holidays (pro rata)
- Two additional days of personal leave per year for religious holidays and/or wellbeing days
- Volunteer Days - two additional days of paid leave each year to volunteer for another charity or our Sported members
- Up to five days of paid study leave for self-funded education/training
- Flexible working arrangements
- A confidential counselling service
- Access to a pension scheme
- Virtual Diversity & Inclusion ‘Open Space’ every month
- Cycle to Work Scheme

In this unique role, you will have the chance to help remove barriers so young people can access sport and physical activity that creates genuine change in their lives.

What’s more, you’ll discover a passionate and purpose-driven team, plenty of growth potential and routes for upskilling, as well as the satisfaction of knowing that you are taking positive steps for young people in Northern Ireland.

The Role

As an NI Delivery Officer, you will help to co-ordinate our activities across the west of Northern Ireland, including County Fermanagh, County Tyrone and County Derry/Londonderry.

Acting as the main point of contact for our network, you’ll deliver vital support that strengthens the capacity of our members, equipping them with the resources and training they need, as well as expertise from volunteer consultants.

You will also develop key partnerships across the region, collaborating with stakeholders to deliver meaningful projects that align with both regional and organisational priorities.

Additionally, you will:

- Implement the Sported engagement plan in Northern Ireland
- Identify areas of need and trends from the NI network
- Organise events to foster engagement
- Support the recruitment, co-ordination, and development of volunteers
- Support content creation for Northern Ireland member communications
- Assist project managers in delivering key projects
- Enable the work of the NI National Manager through administration and other services

About You

To be considered as an NI Delivery Officer, you will need:

- Experience working with partner organisations and stakeholders to deliver projects and programmes
- Experience in a client facing support role
- Experience of database management
- Knowledge of capacity building practices, including fundraising, strategic planning, and organisational development
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills

The closing date for this role is Monday 27 October 2025 at 9am.

Other organisations may call this role Programme Delivery Officer, Community Engagement Officer, Membership Officer, Sports Development Officer, or Outreach Officer.
