Business Support Officer (FTC)

Join Sport England as a Business Support Coordinator – No Sports Knowledge Required

You don’t need to be an expert in sports—or know the offside rule—to make a big impact at Sport England. What we’re really looking for is a brilliant multitasker: someone who’s organised, detail-focused, and has a passion for delivering great customer service.

We’re recruiting a Business Support Coordinator to join our Place Collaboration and Learning Team, part of the wider Place Directorate. This team works with partners across England to support the development of sport and physical activity at the local level.

In this role, you’ll provide vital administrative support to colleagues across the directorate. From managing day-to-day tasks to supporting meetings and events (some travel involved), your role will help ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

What You’ll Bring:

• Experience in providing business or administrative support to teams
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• The ability to prioritise effectively and communicate clearly
• Confidence working in a collaborative, fast-paced environment
• A proactive, customer-focused mindset

At Sport England, our mission is to help everyone—regardless of age, background, or ability—get active and stay active. You’ll be part of a team that supports local communities, helping to understand and overcome the barriers people face when it comes to physical activity.

We’re Committed to Inclusion

We believe diversity drives change. That’s why we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are especially keen to hear from people who are currently underrepresented in our workforce—this includes disabled people and those from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities.
