Job Overview:

Do you remember your favourite teacher, dance instructor, music tutor or sports coach? For so many of us, our lives were changed by these incredible people.

What was it that made them so great? The chances are they made their lessons fun, had a contagious passion and were great with people.

Cricket is changing and we need brilliant, energetic people like this to help us.

In partnership with the ECB and Sky, we have a bold plan to inspire thousands of children across the country to participate in our great game.

If you're someone who is passionate about inspiring disadvantaged kids to get active, and bringing communities together, then we want to hear from you.

Managing the monitoring and evaluation of the project, providing monthly updates for the Surrey Cricket Foundation, Sky and the ECB.
Managing and monitoring a local budget Please note that whilst the main responsibility of this role is relationship building and stakeholder management with local community groups, there will also be an expectation to support with the delivery of sessions no prior coaching qualification is needed as we will provide all required training
Exceptional stakeholder management skills
Experience in endtoend project management including budgets and monitoring and evaluation
Experience in sales is preferable (specific experience of sales within the sports industry is not required)
An understanding of the communities that live in South London and how to engage them through cricket
An inspirational, nurturing leadership style
A passion for holistically developing people
