VOLUNTEER
Become a Volunteer Consultant
Do you have two years of professional experience that would be relevant and valuable to the running of a grassroots sports club?
What skills do we need?
This is not a limited list, so if you have something you want to offer and a passion to help local clubs and groups unleash grassroots sport, then we’d love you to join our team and to use that experience to help to change lives through sport.
This is volunteering with a difference – the opportunity to affect long term change in your community through your involvement with local sports clubs and groups.
Knowledge of sport is optional. Enthusiasm is essential.
Our Volunteer Consultants leave a lasting impact. You will work with the inspirational faces of community organisations and immerse yourself in their challenges.
You will be supported by our regional and national teams and Sported’s central Volunteer Services team and have the opportunity both to share and develop your own skills.
Our Volunteer Consultants claim that making a positive difference to our members is what they enjoy most about being part of Sported.
And we know representation matters – which is why we want our volunteers to reflect the diversity of the community groups we work with.
We actively encourage applicants from ethnically diverse backgrounds and other minoritised groups to apply and bring invaluable insight and perspectives.
With flexible time commitments and opportunities to volunteer remotely, it’s even easier to support groups across the UK
