Job Description

About The RoleThere is now an exciting opportunity to join our award-winning in-house Planning function on a permanent basis. The team is passionate about ensuring all communities have access to high quality spaces and places to be physically active through creating Active Environments.



We are looking for someone who has great customer service skills, a collaborative approach to teamwork, along with strong administrative skills. Day to day, you will provide a range of technical and administrative assistance to our network of Chartered Town Planners to support the effective delivery of the Town Planning Team programme of work.



Experience in a town planning team is welcomed but not essential for this role, as full and comprehensive training will be provided. Most importantly we are looking for people with the right abilities and skills to join our team. Full information on the team is provided on our website.



Our 10-year strategy, Uniting the Movement, sets out a bold vision to transform lives and communities through sport and physical activity. Join us, and you'll be part of an ambitious and inclusive team that offers a unique opportunity to use and develop your skills and expertise in the areas of town planning, sport, and physical activity.


Sport England recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly where we are under-represented, currently, this includes disabled people and those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups.


About Us+ At Sport England, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of sport and physical activity - regardless of age, gender, background, bank balance or post code. We are an arm's length body responsible for growing and developing grassroots sport and helping more people get active across England - around two thirds of our funding comes from players of The National Lottery, with the remainder coming from the Exchequer.



Our work is driven by Uniting the Movement, a 10-year strategy focused on tackling inequalities and creating positive experiences of sport and physical activity for all. From funding local community initiatives to influencing national policy, we work in partnership with organisations and individuals who share our vision of an active nation where everyone feels able to take part and be active in a way that works for them.
