Trent Bridge Community Trust is seeking a passionate and driven individual to lead on an impact-led approach to using the power of sports officiating to make a meaningful difference in communities across the county.
This role offers an exciting and unique opportunity to shape a new direction for officiating, with a strong focus on using umpiring and scoring as vehicles to improve physical and mental well-being, build confidence and reduce loneliness, particularly in non-cricketing communities.
You will have the opportunity to shape and deliver development opportunities, such as mentoring programmes and engagement initiatives, while growing and supporting strong networks that help officials feel connected and valued.
You will oversee the Officiating Administrator, who will manage systems and administration, allowing you to focus on leading engagement, development and impact with the autonomy to influence the programme’s development. You will also work closely with the Nottinghamshire Officials Advisory Group, chairing their sessions and working with volunteers to increase the group’s impact.
To be successful in this role, you will need to be confident in engaging with a wide range of people and communities, with a strong ability to communicate effectively across different environments. You will be committed to working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders and understand the value of social impact in sport, particularly in supporting well-being, confidence and connection. You will also be proactive and self-motivated, with the ability to take initiative in shaping and developing the programme.
This is a flexible, part-time role offering the chance to take ownership of an important area of work, contributing both to the growth of cricket and the well-being of people across Nottinghamshire.
If you’re passionate, motivated, and ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
