The Athlete Liaison Officer role is central to delivering the charity’s mission. You will support athletes and families to make the most of the help and opportunities available through SportsAid.
In particular, you will be responsible for regular communication with supported athletes, including seeking updates on their performances and progress; gathering insightful data; organising and briefing athletes to attend various SportsAid events; ensuring good safeguarding principles are followed; and making sure that the charity is connected and listens to its beneficiaries.
This exciting role is based in central London and occasional travel around the country may be necessary. You will report directly to the National Awards Manager.
You will have experience of working with young people, a passion for sport, strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships.

SportsAid recognises that certain sections of the community have been affected by structural inequities and may be denied the opportunity to participate equally and fully in sport at all levels. SportsAid as an organisation believes our role is to remove the barriers that our most under-served, at risk and minoritised groups of young people experience when trying to access sport and physical activities.
SportsAid therefore positively welcomes, and seeks to achieve, diversity in our workforce and that all job applicants, volunteers and employees receive equal and fair treatment. We positively encourage applications from all candidates regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender, disability, marriage and civil partnership status, gender identity, background, religion, faith, sexual orientation, maternity status, pregnancy, belief or nationality.
