Description
JOB SUMMARY:
Join LSE Students' Union as a Sports Coordinator and play a key role in developing and supporting sports clubs and the Athletics Union. You will empower student leaders, coordinate events and fixtures, and ensure a high-quality sports experience for all club members. If you’re passionate about sport and student engagement, we want to hear from you!
Who are we? Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. Founded in 1897, LSE Students' Union is one of the oldest Students' Unions in the UK and is the representative and campaigning body for students at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Like other Students' Unions, it also funds and facilitates student activities on campus, including 200+ societies and 40+ sports clubs.
What's the Job? LSESU is looking for a dynamic and proactive Sports Coordinator to join our Sports and Recreation team. As the primary point of contact, you will offer support and guidance to Sports Clubs and the Athletics Union (AU), empowering student leaders to create an outstanding experience for all members. In this role, you’ll coordinate and develop Sports Clubs with a strong focus on inclusivity, health and safety, and the effective planning of fixtures, activities, and events.
You’ll manage the logistics behind BUCS and LUSL fixtures, as well as plan and oversee Sports Club showcases, trips, and other major events. You’ll work closely with both staff and student volunteers, contributing to the strategic and operational planning of the Sports and Recreation Team.
Your role will directly impact the student experience at LSE, ensuring the smooth delivery of a wide range of student sport provisions.
Who are we looking for? We’re looking for an enthusiastic and highly organised individual who is passionate about student sport and physical activity. You should be able to work independently, with excellent interpersonal and communication skills to engage a diverse range of audiences—from student volunteers to external partners.
To succeed in this role, you’ll need to demonstrate exceptional organisational skills, a methodical approach to administration, and the ability to solve problems creatively. While experience working with student-led sports clubs or societies is ideal, it’s not essential.
We’re looking for someone with a genuine passion for motivating others to be active, a strong work ethic, and a collaborative approach to working.
Why apply? Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces.
How do we recruit? We want to ensure that all systems, policies and processes are free from bias or discrimination and are fair and accessible. Therefore, we ask that all candidates complete our application process by uploading the following three documents:
1. CV – Outlining your skills and experience to date.
2. Supporting Statement – A one-page statement explaining your suitability for the role.
3. Equal Opportunities Monitoring and Contact Form – This includes personal information so we can contact you if you are shortlisted for an interview.
For further about the role, please see the attached full job description and person specification.
