Description:
Womens Coaching Programme Leader
Salary: £40,000 – £45,000 per annum
Fixed Term (2 years)
Between 28 - 35 hours a week
Closing Date: 02 June 2024 midnight
Women in Sport are looking for a dynamic programme leader to orchestrate an exciting new women’s coaching initiative.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to work in our small ground-breaking charity, in the high profile and fast-moving arena of women’s sport with plenty of scope to make your mark on the cause.
Our charity exists because we believe it is wrong for girls and women to be denied the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport. While progress is being made towards greater equality for women and girls in sport, we know that at all levels and across all environments, there are too few female coaches, and women who are in coaching roles often report having a bad experience.
The Women’s Coaching Programme Leader will manage Women in Sport’s stewardship of the women’s coaching initiative, a group of organisations and individuals looking to make change for women in coaching. Your role will be to orchestrate, plan, deliver, and monitor the Women’s Coaching Programme on behalf of the collective of organisations involved.
You will have significant experience working within the sporting landscape, ideally spanning community and elite sport. We welcome applicants who can bring something different to our organisation so if you think your experience is relevant, you share our vision and you can bring some fresh ideas, you might be just what we are looking for.
Main responsibilities are:
Lead the Women in Coaching initiative:
*
Own and manage the women in coaching initiative delivery plan
*
Oversee and manage the day-to-day governance processes
*
Build and manage relationships across the sport system to advocate for and ensure the success of the initiative
*
Manage the budget and reporting for the project
What we’re looking for from you:
*
Knowledge of the sports sector
*
Programme management skills learnt either on a job or in life, not just in theory.
*
Excellent relationship management and networking skills
*
Forward thinking and strategic thinking skills
*
Understanding of the headline political, cultural and social determinants of gender equality as this affects women and girls from different backgrounds and cultures.
Women in Sport is committed to a working culture where everyone can be authentic and true to themselves. We strive to represent the full diversity of the communities we serve.
Please see the job description for a full list of responsibilities and the criteria required for this role.

Please note that we initially longlist candidates for an informal telephone call before shortlisting for a face-to-face interview.
