Job description

Enrichment and Sport Coordinator

£25,475 to £27,086 per annum for full time, college staff term time only.

Do you have a passion for inspiring young people through clubs and societies, sport, fitness, and vibrant campus life? Are you dedicated to helping students build confidence, team spirit, and future-ready skills? Ready to energise our college, organise a wide range of sport and non-sport activities, run sports academies, and take student life to the next level?

At Blackpool Sixth, we specialise in 16–19 education and pride ourselves on being a first-class college where students thrive. We are seeking a creative, energetic, and proactive Enrichment and Sport Coordinator to join our team. Working across the college, you will lead a dynamic enrichment and sports programme, coordinate sports academies and fixtures, and drive key campus events that bring our student community to life. This is a permanent post.

Whether you’re taking your next step in sports development or looking to build on an established career in student engagement, this is a fantastic opportunity to develop your practice in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

A day in your new role

1. Bringing the campus to life - crafting and running fun enrichment activities, epic sports sessions, and inspiring student leadership projects.
2. Rallying the teams - managing a sports team, leading our sports academies to victory, managing match-day excitement, and getting behind the wheel of the college minibus for away fixtures.
3. Hosting the big events - taking centre stage to organise high-energy campus highlights like Freshers' Fair, Culture Day, and mega charity fundraisers.
4. Running the gym - gym induction for students, keeping the facilities safe, and equipment ready for action.
5. Spreading the word - launching eye-catching promos, celebrating student wins, and running focus groups to keep our activities fresh and popular.
6. Tracking the buzz - turning attendance and feedback numbers into smart insights to make our student experience better every single term.
7. Unlocking extra funds - managing budgets like a pro and hunting down exciting grants or funding bids to supercharge our sports and enrichment kit, facilities, equipment and funded qualifications.
8. Being a champ for students - acting as a fantastic role model, building positive connections, and keeping student safety, inclusion, and wellbeing at the heart of everything you do.

Set the pace. Lead the crowd. Help us build an unforgettable student experience.
