This is an exciting opportunity to play a hands‑on role in helping community sports clubs create meaningful opportunities for young people to lead, shape, and influence the activities and communities they are part of.

This role sits within a new and evolving national approach to youth voice and youth leadership, designed to embed co-production and shared decision‑making across community sport.

This will include club visits, helping to organise local events, delivering training, and ensuring that young people’s voices actively shape practice at a local level.
