Job title: LSESU Sports Facilitator
Salary: £16.59 per hour (inclusive of holiday pay)

Location: LSESU, Holborn, Central London
Contract type: 0-hour contract

As a Sports Facilitator, you will be required to support the day-to-day supervision and operation of the department and inclusive sport sessions, ensuring they are safe, engaging, and that they provide a welcoming environment for all participants.

These roles will be the first point of contact for students engaging in the sessions, providing excellent customer service while supporting the safe operation of equipment and responding to enquiries. The role is looking for outgoing individuals who will talk to all students and help them in feeling part of a community.

These roles also require flexibility, with shifts available during the day, evenings, and weekends. Please apply only if you can provide this level of flexibility in your schedule.

As a member of the LSESU Sports Facilitator student staff team, you will help support the safe, inclusive, and efficient operation of the recreational sport programme.

You will assist in the daily supervision of recreational sport sessions, ensuring students are welcomed and safe, and sessions are set up ready for sessions to start. You will act as the first point of contact for participants, helping manage tickets, answering queries, and ensuring sessions run smoothly.

By providing a friendly and professional presence within the sessions, you will contribute to creating a positive and inclusive environment for LSE’s diverse community of students and members.

We are looking for friendly, reliable individuals with strong customer service skills who enjoy working in an active and people-focused environment.

Ideally, you will have some experience with sport delivery and a basic understanding of health and safety in these environments. Experience in a customer-facing role (e.g., responding to enquiries, resolving issues, and supporting users) will be highly beneficial.

You should be a confident communicator who can engage with a diverse range of students and members, while remaining organised and proactive in a busy setting. A positive, approachable attitude and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team are essential.

An interest in sport, fitness, and creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for the LSE community will also be important.

Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring, and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces.

By joining the Sports Facilitator team, you will help support a welcoming and inclusive environment where students can stay active, connect with others, and make the most of their time at LSE.

In return for your passion and experience we offer:

● Free LSE Students’ Union gym membership.

● Additional online training (e.g., GDPR and PCI-DSS compliance)

We want to ensure all systems, policies and processes are free from bias or discrimination and are fair and accessible, therefore we ask that all candidates complete our Application Process in two stages:

Part 1: Supporting Statement is all about you telling us about your suitability for the role and will be used to determine if you are shortlisted for interview. Please keep this one page maximum and do not include any personal information, e.g. name or date of birth. Please use the job description and person specification to help write this.

Part 2 (Equal Opportunities Monitoring and Contact Form) is personal information – so we can contact you if you are shortlisted for the interview. It also helps us gather and analyse demographic information about our applicants. This part will only be seen by HR and will not have any impact on shortlisting.

Application forms are formatted to ensure the equality monitoring data is removed before applications are seen by the shortlisting panel. This process allows us to ensure that the shortlisting is done in a fair and consistent manner, and all applicants are given the same opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.

To apply please complete an online application.
