BF is recruiting a Coaching & DiSE Projects Officer to support the delivery and development of its coaching and talent pathway programmes. This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to build experience in the sport sector while contributing to a nationally significant programme.
Working within the Coaching & Workforce Development team, the role focuses on coordinating projects that connect coaching development with the Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) programme.

Key responsibilities include coordinating DiSE-related projects, supporting the development of a coaching pipeline into the talent pathway, and contributing to the rollout and management of BF’s digital learning platform. The role also supports initiatives that help athletes transition into workforce roles such as coaching, refereeing and team management.
