Are you passionate about sport and student life? Do you love finding creative ways to bring people together, solve problems, and make things happen? Can your energy and ideas help students have an incredible university experience?

This role will be immersed in the delivery of our recreational sporting programme, both intramural and collegiate. These sporting programmes engage thousands of students across campus, giving them an outlet for their passions and helping them to develop new skills in the process. You’ll become part of an energetic team dedicated to supporting students to make the most of their time here through opportunities that have a positive impact on the University experience.

As part of an energetic and supportive team, you’ll collaborate with staff, students, and partners to design and deliver opportunities that make a real difference to student life. We’re proud of our commitment to inclusion in sport and are especially keen to hear from candidates with experience in growing participation among under‑represented or marginalised groups.

To thrive in this role, you’ll need:

• Great organisational skills, an eye for detail, and empathy for the student experience.
• An understanding of the higher education sporting landscape, and the ability to balance practical delivery with long‑term development.
• Passion, teamwork, and a genuine desire to see every student feel they belong in sport.

In return, we offer a supportive, flexible, and rewarding working environment where your ideas will shape the future of sport at Lancaster University.

This is a full‑time, fixed‑term role for two years.

We warmly welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds – particularly those from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities currently under‑represented in our workforce. We are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of our membership.

unless specified otherwise in the advert, all advertised roles are UK based.

We warmly welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of their age, religion, gender identity or expression, race, disability or sexual orientation, and are committed to promoting diversity and equality of opportunity.
