Sported Business Consultant

Do you want to give something back to your community? If so, then this is the role for you!
Sported consultants are paired with community sports clubs who need expertise in various areas to become sustainable and increase their capacity. These opportunities are very flexible - from a 15-minute call with a club leader who has questions in your skills area, to a 6 month placement.
As a Sported volunteer, you’ll share your professional skills and expertise with community groups, having a huge effect on these clubs.
Full induction is offered, together with personal development opportunities, and you will join a network of skilled Sported consultants across the UK. You will help a diverse range of people and organisations and will receive support throughout from the Sported team.
Most importantly you will have fun!

Experience required

If you have one or a few of the following professional skills or lived experience, you will be a huge help to group leaders who aren’t confident in these areas:
-Business & strategic planning
-Facilities management & asset transfer
-Financial management
-Fundraising
-Sports development
-Legal
-Project management
-Marketing & comms
-Governance
-Sustainability
-Volunteer & staff management

Travel details

Their roles are mostly delivered virtually now, via Zoom or Teams, phone calls etc but sometimes are face to face, if you are linked with a group in your own community – the choice is entirely yours.

Travel expenses

If you incur a valid expense on Sported's behalf while supporting a member, then you can be reimbursed. A valid expense could be mileage (paid at .45p per mile) coffee etc. Claim within 3 months using an expense form, shared at induction.

Support
Training details

Their induction covers their policies and resources available to help with each placement. Support is given by their regional and national teams and Sported’s central Volunteer Services Team and you will have the opportunity both to share and develop your own skills.
