Job Details

Jersey Sport is committed to increasing participation of the least active and underrepresented groups. Our aim is therefore to provide developmental, diverse and inclusive opportunities for all islanders to be active, particularly those who wouldn’t otherwise access sport or physical activity.

The Communications and Media Coordinator will work with a variety of stakeholders to develop and improve the organisation’s recognition and promotion of local sport organisations and the opportunities that they provide for islanders. The Officer will also be responsible for ensuring that these communications are delivered in an inclusive, engaging and impactful manner that informs and inspires all users. This role also has a pivotal responsibility to oversee the promotion of all Jersey Sport activities and the signposting into wider community opportunities.

This role will include the management of relationships with stakeholders in the media, whether that be directly with volunteers, partner organisations, public sector colleagues, or general meetings in the sector. The Officer will also be responsible for leading the organisation’s internal communications, tasked with developing a collaborative and transparent culture of open communication.

In addition to being able to demonstrate the organisation’s core behaviours and the specialist competences required of the role, the post holder will be routinely required to perform a number of specific tasks.

6. Positively contribute alongside the wider team to embed inclusivity throughout all communications both internally and externally.
