Physical Performance Coordinator

The Role

Working as part of the Sport Hallam Performance Team, you will coordinate and deliver a high-quality Strength & Conditioning (S&C) programme for performance athletes and student members.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across Sport Hallam and the wider University to support athlete development programmes such as the Performance Athlete Support Programme (PASP) and Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS), contribute to collaborative projects, while ensuring a seamless service delivery that is safe and inclusive.

Strong coaching and communication skills are essential, as you’ll be working with student athletes, club coaches, academic staff and external partners. You’ll also mentor and lead student interns and placement opportunities, while overseeing key systems and processes.

Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail are a vital part of the role. You will coordinate service administration by managing athlete data, streamlining bookings, and using performance insights to enhance service delivery.

The role is primarily Monday to Friday, but flexibility is required to support occasional evening and weekend activities, including events and open days.

We offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment.

You will be contractually enrolled into the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) – one of the largest and most generous defined benefit pension schemes in the country.

If you are currently a member of the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), you can choose to opt out of the LGPS and remain in the USS. Please contact the Pensions team to discuss options available.
