Small enough to care, big enough to make a positive impact
Become the Face of Community Sport at Seaton Valley Federation
At Seaton Valley Federation, we believe our sports facilities - from our swimming pool and sports hall to our state-of-the-art 3G pitch - should be more than just spaces to play; they should be vibrant hubs for the whole community. We are looking for two Community Sports Assistants who will act as the vital first point of contact and host for everyone who visits us.
The Heart of the Role
This is a role for someone who takes pride in being the "face" of our facilities. You will be the person who welcomes local teams, ensures our hirers have exactly what they need, and maintains a safe, respectful environment for all ages. Whether you are helping a local football club settle onto the 3G pitch, setting up nets in the sports hall for badminton, or ensuring the swimming pool environment is perfectly maintained, your presence will be key to the success of every session.
What You’ll Be Doing
As our evening and weekend host, you will take on a range of vital tasks, including:
Welcoming the Community: Liaising courteously with hirers and the public to ensure a high-quality experience
Operational Excellence: Managing the federation’s online booking system and handling cash collections where necessary
Facility Care: Taking a "hands-on" approach to safety and standards, from brushing of pitches to ensuring equipment is set up safely and correctly for the next group
Safety First: Acting as a competent first-aider and maintaining our rigorous health and safety standards
Visits to our schools and facilities are warmly welcomed and encouraged. Please contact Ben Watson, Business Director on 0191 2371505 to make an appointment.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. It is essential that all staff and volunteers share this commitment. An enhanced criminal records check from the Disclosure and Barring Service is required for all posts.
