Developing Our People

Our success depends on the work and support of our employees and our volunteers. People are the most important resource we have – they are the ones who make a difference!

Of all our strengths, it's our people which set us apart. Our people have a wonderful range of personal and professional backgrounds and motivations. The level of passion and pride felt towards our aim is overwhelming and provides an outstanding level of motivation on which to build.

We are united by a shared vision that every child enjoys the life changing benefits that come from play and sport.

At the Youth Sport Trust, we will encourage you to try new things and develop your skills.

We want people to join us who:

  • think creatively 

  • aren't afraid to challenge the status quo

  • have a positive attitude and an enthusiasm for learning.

We take your professional and career development seriously. You'll find out about the learning, volunteering and social activities available at your induction. 

Each year you will work on your personal development plan, deciding what you want to achieve and how you’d like us to help you get there.

Here are some of the ways you can develop your knowledge and abilities:

  • in-house and external training opportunities, from job specific development and certification to e-learning and our Internal Leadership Development Programme.

  • time off to volunteer.

  • working in other teams - anything from shadowing a colleague to a formal secondment.

  • working as part of an ad-hoc team on special projects

  • mentoring and coaching.

  • support and funding of professional qualifications including diplomas and master’s degrees.

  • represent the Youth Sport Trust at events, meetings and conferences.

We want to help you make the most of the opportunities on offer in our diverse organisation. 

There has never been a more exciting time to join The Youth Sport Trust. If you are looking for a career with purpose, which is both challenging and rewarding in equal measure, then join us and make a difference!
