At Sport England we want everyone to be able to benefit from the transformative impact of sport and physical activity. The inequalities of opportunity and access are as pronounced, if not more so, in the talent system as they are anywhere else. Ultimately that manifests itself on the field of play and the podium when our national teams represent us on the global stage. This represents a missed opportunity to harness all our sporting potential.

Demonstrable experience operating as self-starter in a busy and dynamic environment, with strong planning, prioritisation and organisational skills and a track record of delivery within agreed timescales. Experience and knowledge of supporting the development of talent/performance people, such as practitioners, coaches and future leaders. A proven ability to build strong networks and relationships with key external individuals and partner organisations. A track record showcasing excellent interpersonal, communication and observational skills.
