Who are UK Sport?
We are the UK’s trusted high-performance experts, powering our greatest athletes, teams, sports and events to achieve positive success. Investing a combination of National Lottery and Government funds, we support our Olympic and Paralympic sports to realise their world‑leading potential and help bring major sporting events to the UK. Our purpose is to lead high‑performance sport to enable extraordinary moments that enrich lives.
We are on a mission – to create the greatest decade of extraordinary sporting moments; reaching, inspiring and uniting the nation. That mission is underpinned by three ambitions for UK high‑performance sport; to keep winning and win well, to grow a thriving sporting system and to harness those to inspire positive change. Working with the sports and events we fund, DCMS, and our partner organisations across the UK high‑performance system, we are building on 25 years of ever‑growing success to write the UK’s next chapter for Olympic and Paralympic sport.
About the role
As a Learning & Development Projects Officer, you’ll play a key role in designing, developing and delivering high quality learning experiences across the high performance community. This includes in person workshops, blended programmes, digital learning, events and communities of practice.
You’ll partner with subject matter experts, facilitators and internal teams to shape impactful learning solutions, managing the full training cycle from early needs analysis through to design, development, delivery and evaluation. You’ll also coordinate logistics, support event operations, capture content for reuse, and help ensure learning experiences are inclusive, accessible and aligned with organisational standards.
This role sits at the heart of our mission to evolve and elevate professional practice across the high performance system.
Who will I be working with?
You’ll work closely with the Senior Learning Designer, L&D Events Advisor, facilitators, contributors and colleagues across the High‑Performance Community, supporting seamless event delivery and high‑quality learner experiences.
About you
You’re someone who loves creating learning experiences that genuinely help people grow. You bring experience designing or supporting engaging L&D activities, whether digital, blended or in person, and you feel confident managing multiple moving parts with calm and clarity. You enjoy working collaboratively with subject matter experts, shaping ideas into practical learning solutions, and coordinating logistics to make everything run smoothly. You communicate clearly, stay organised under pressure and use technology confidently, whether through LMS platforms, digital tools, content capture or innovative approaches like GenAI. Above all, you care about creating inclusive, accessible, engaging learning experiences and are motivated by helping the high‑performance community continually develop and improve.
As you’ll see in the more detailed Job Description, we are looking for an exceptional candidate who will naturally collaborate with others. In return, we will be there with you every step of the way. Come join us and be part of the heartbeat of high-performance sport in the UK.
