Founded as a legacy of London 2012 Games, Sported is the UK’s largest network of community groups, supporting over a million young people in some of the most deprived and underserved communities.

Our ambition is to double our network to 6,000 groups in the next three years, and in doing so, helping to transform the lives of thousands more disadvantaged young people. The Head of Operations is a critical hire in the delivery of this ambition. Leading a team of 31, you will be responsible for the delivery of Sported’s strategic objectives across the regions and nations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Supporting our mission is our incredible team of over 200 Volunteer Consultants who inject a wide range of professional skills and lived experience that provides invaluable support to the community organisations we support.

Although we are the largest network in the UK, there are many more groups that are volunteer-led and sat outside of traditional structures. Survival is a very real challenge that thousands of these groups face, and we have a responsibility we reach and support even more.

We are looking for a Head of Operations who can challenge and inspire, and is excited by the prospect being part of the next stage of Sported’s journey.
