And if you do, you will be sharing the belief that our founding patron, Nelson Mandela, expressed at the launch of Laureus 21 years ago:

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”

As a key member of Laureus' programmes team, you will be responsible for planning and implementing a portfolio of impactful programmes across Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe using sport as a vehicle for social change.

You will be responsible for managing a diverse sport for development portfolio, providing high level programme support, financial oversight, monitoring and evaluation technical expertise and capacity building support to our global implementing partners.

• Support the organisational development and strengthening of grant partners
• Participate in developing funding proposals for a range of different funders
• Help make sure that grantees comply with requirements and expectations
• Work closely with grantees to source good case stories about how they use the power of sport to change the lives of children and young people

We expect you to hit the ground running. If you feel you have the experience to deliver these different activities, write to us straight away. We will be hiring when we have the right candidate. Ideally we will take the decision before Christmas. Is it you?

Career-changers bring new experiences into the classroom. We offer Now Teachers one-to-one support, alongside a comprehensive structured programme helping them change career successfully. This support continues after they’ve completed their training, and the Now Teach Network is there to help make the most of their experience and skills as career-changers.
