ABOUT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION
Tottenham Hotspur Foundation is the charitable arm of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Using the power of sport, we work with local communities to improve physical health, mental wellbeing, education, and employment outcomes.
Through our Health & Wellbeing programmes, including Making Sport a Daily Habit (MSADH), we support adults who may be inactive, face health inequalities, or live with long-term health conditions to move more, feel better, and connect with others. We are proud to welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, experiences, and communities.
PURPOSE OF THE VOLUNTEER ROLE
As a Volunteer Health & Sport Coach, you will support the delivery of inclusive and enjoyable physical activity sessions that help adults build confidence, routine, and enjoyment in being active.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys encouraging others and creating welcoming spaces, particularly for people who may feel nervous or unsure about physical activity. You do not need to be an expert athlete — enthusiasm, empathy, and a supportive attitude are what matter most.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
• Support the practical delivery of inclusive physical activity and sport sessions as part of MSADH.
• Assist with session set-up, delivery support, and pack-down across community venues.
• Encourage participants to take part at their own pace and adapt activities where appropriate.
• Help create a positive, welcoming environment that supports confidence, enjoyment, and inclusion.
• Work alongside Foundation staff and other volunteers to support smooth session delivery.
• Share relevant feedback or observations with the Project Coordinator when required.
• Follow all safeguarding, health & safety, and risk assessment procedures at all times.
QUALIFICATIONS & ROLE REQUIREMENTS
• Volunteers supporting the practical delivery of physical activity sessions may be required to hold a minimum Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification (or an equivalent accredited coaching or fitness qualification).
• Volunteers supporting sessions in a non-delivery or administrative capacity are not required to hold this qualification and will be supervised by qualified Foundation staff.
• All volunteers must be willing to complete required training and follow Foundation policies and procedures.
WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR
You may be a great fit if you are:
• Friendly, approachable, and encouraging
• Passionate about physical activity, wellbeing, or community support
• Comfortable supporting people of different ages, abilities, and confidence levels
• Reliable and keen to be part of a supportive team
Helpful but not essential:
• Experience supporting or leading group or physical activities
• Good communication and people skills
• Interest in health, wellbeing, or behaviour change
• Coaching, fitness, or First Aid qualifications
Don’t worry if you don’t tick every box — we value enthusiasm, kindness, lived experience, and a willingness to learn.
WHAT YOU WILL GAIN
• Experience supporting community health and wellbeing programmes
• The opportunity to make a positive difference to people’s lives
• Training, guidance, and ongoing support from experienced staff
• Opportunities to build confidence and practical coaching skills
• A welcoming and inclusive volunteering environment
We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive volunteering environment where everyone can thrive. If you’re ready to help people move more and feel better, we’d love to hear from you!

On joining you will be required to undergo continuous professional development to maintain safe working practice and to safeguard our children and young people.

Chair of Trustees role:
You will be chairing the Board of Trustees, ensuring that we have minimum representation required for decisions to be made, keeping the board aligned in decision-making, ensuring all minutes are recorded and that all decisions by trustees are made with the appropriate context provided.
This is a great opportunity to develop further governance skills and experience, and help steer an important charity in the right direction.
Trustees meetings are usually held every six weeks, plus there is an AGM, away days, and any sub-committee meetings that trustees may be involved in. Most meetings will remain virtual but there will from time to time be a need to attend key meetings and events in Nottingham. The time commitment is approximately 4hours per month, but there may be occasions when more time is required for a short period.
Who are we looking for?
- Previous chairing experience
- Relevant experience in any of the following financial management, HR, charities, fundraising, social prescribing, NHS, health inequalities (including deaf community), local authorities, marketing, business development, governance, strategy or legal
- A willingness to devote the necessary time and effort
- Good, independent judgement
- The ability to challenge and ask questions
- An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship
- A commitment to Nolan’s seven principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership
NB: We are looking for both a Chair of Trustees and additional Trustees (particularly those with a finance background, but other functions are also welcome). If you are interested in a Trustee role instead of the Chair role, please mention this in your covering letter when applying.
Both the Chair and Trustee positions are unremunerated, but reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
