Job overview

Fixed-term until August 2017

Looking for an exciting new challenge? How about inspiring young people to get involved in sport? It’s your chance to widen sports participation right across the College as you connect Blackpool Sixth with sports opportunities in the community.

This role, funded by Sport England, will see you design, develop and deliver a broad range of programmes that attract and engage students from all backgrounds. It’s all about helping them gain a ‘sport participation’ habit that will last them a lifetime. You’ll also develop strong community links, as well as encourage access to opportunities provided by the National Governing Bodies of Sport and Sport England.

With a relevant degree or equivalent professional qualification (in sports development for example), you should bring a proven track record of developing sports-related engagement activities for young people or children. The ability to work with external organisations is also essential, combined with outstanding communication skills. Last but not least, you must have a full driving licence and the flexibility to work some evenings and weekends.

Blackpool Sixth is a high-achieving sixth form college, giving our students an excellent springboard to future success. We educate the whole student, providing all with excellent teaching and opportunities for growth and personal development. We are relatively small in size, with just over 2,000 students, and are recognised by Ofsted as an outstanding sixth form.

As an Investors in People Gold Award organisation, we’ll give you full support to build your skills and knowledge. You can also look forward to being part of a progressive and forward-thinking college with a continuing £27 million development and exceptional facilities.

Staff are committed to the needs and aspirations of our students and supported by an extensive programme of staff development.

The college is designated as a Teaching School in partnership with Hodgson Academy and it's a really exciting time to be part of Blackpool Sixth.
