The role holder will be responsible for supporting the Performance Sport and broader UoM Sport strategic objectives that aim to deliver high quality sport and physical activity experiences for everyone at every level. Specifically, the Sport Coordinator will coordinate a broad, multi-sport programme of competitions and training, embedding a culture of commitment and maximising achievement.
The successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating our year-round representative sport program, which includes trials, training, inter-university competition and sports coach recruitment and supervision.
The role involves collaborating with various individuals and teams across the UoM Sport department and managing multiple stakeholders and partners simultaneously.
Applicants should demonstrate the ability to manage and supervise staff, build effective relationships with stakeholders and have a strong understanding of planning, delivering, and reviewing competitive sport programs.
