Access Sport is a national charity with a vision that no one should be excluded from the transformational benefits of community sport. We are on a mission to make inclusion the norm in community sport by tackling the access barriers faced by disadvantaged and disabled young people.
We do this by training, equipping, and supporting community sports clubs, organisations, and volunteers to provide inclusive programmes, unleashing their potential to transform the lives of underserved young people in their local communities. This work is either place based (Changing Places) or sport focussed (Changing Sports). All the clubs we support are invited to join our Inclusive Club Network.
Access Sport are looking to appoint a Social Impact Cycling Coach to deliver accessible and inclusive cycling sessions using BMX as a tool to engage and build self-efficacy amongst inactive, underserved and disabled young people.
We believe every young person should have:
* Access to a bike.
* The skills and confidence to use it.
* Somewhere local, safe and exciting to enjoy riding.
We work across 3 areas:
* Facilities: We build exciting, accessible, and inclusive places to ride that are accessible to underserved communities and are free to
use, with equipment on-site.
* Community Outreach: We deliver specialist cycle training to inactive, disadvantaged and disabled young people in local schools.
* Clubs: We empower local people to create cycling communities by developing regular and inclusive access to equipment and training.
The role will deliver across our outreach programme, delivering accessible and inclusive cycling sessions using BMX as a tool to engage and build confidence amongst inactive, underserved and disabled young people. The post holder will deliver outreach to local schools and groups at sites where we are developing a community club. There may be opportunities to support the some of the community cycling clubs in and around the Greater Manchester area, working to engage further young people and deliver inclusive focused sessions.
