Our vibrant, modern University is gaining prominence both nationally and internationally and we have ambitious plans for our future. Our main campuses in the cities of Cambridge, Chelmsford and Peterborough have been transformed with major capital investments. With an annual income of £163m, over 30,000 students and 2,000 staff, we are a major force for higher education in the East of England.

An exciting opportunity has now arisen to join our team and gain valuable experience of working in the sports development industry whilst studying for your Masters Degree. Thanks to an innovative partnership with Tennis Foundation we have become one of 22 universities in the UK to secure funding for a Tennis Co-ordinator – an exciting role that will inspire more staff and students to take up the game of tennis at our Cambridge campus.

You will be passionate about sport and keen to develop your own skills. You will be comfortable using all forms of social media to engage with others and will understand the barriers that students face to participating in sport – as well as having some creative solutions to overcome them. You must have experience of leading a group of people and successfully co-ordinating a project using your own initiative.

With a minimum of a degree or equivalent, you will have secured a place on a part-time Masters Degree starting in September 2013. This role will be eligible for a bursary of up to £4,500 each year towards the fees.

Athletics Network Assistants (voluntary)

We’ve just had the greatest ever summer of sport and who could fail to be inspired by the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games

Were you inspired? Would you like to play a part in realising the legacy for Suffolk and North Essex? If your answer is ‘Yes’ then please read on

The Network is seeking Assistants to help organise activities for local coaches and volunteers at athletics clubs. There are a range of roles so you don’t have to be sporty or have a knowledge of athletics. Experience gained could help with your future career prospects or for some provide an opportunity to give something to the community. Although the roles are open to anyone, this may be an opportunity for some of our London 2012 Games Makers. Initially this will be for a 5 month period, from November up March 2013.

You will be part of a team which will include volunteers managing the Network and officers from England Athletics and Suffolk Sport, the county sports partnership. You will be fully briefed before starting and have access to support on an ongoing basis

The roles include:

• General Administrator

• Coach Workshop Organiser

• Sportshall Athletics Co-ordinator (juniors)

Please see Role Descriptions which give an outline of what is involved

There will be a number of other people involved in these activities – your role would mainly be to provide administration and some co-ordination. As such, communication, organisation and administration skills will be key as well as an enjoyment of working with people

Reasonable expenses will be paid subject to prior agreement with the Network Chair

If any of these roles interests you please contact Terry McEntee on 07776 166288 or at terry.mcentee@suffolksport.com for an informal conversation
