Community Sports Development Officer (Grade IV)
Salary € 35,613 – €54,911 per annum includes 2nd LSI E.L. 07/2025
Funded by Sport Ireland, the Community Sports Development Officer supports Local Sports Partnerships to enhance and expand participation pathways, with a strong focus on sustainable, community-led programmes aligned with the National Physical Activity Plan (Action 46).
Core Objectives of the Role:
-
Increasing Participation:
Develop innovative and inclusive opportunities that encourage people who are sedentary or currently inactive to get involved in sport and physical activity. -
Building Capacity:
Support smaller National Governing Bodies (NGBs), community groups, and partner organisations—particularly those without dedicated development officers—to deliver meaningful participation opportunities. -
Developing Local Leadership:
Foster, train, and support local leaders and volunteers to ensure long-term, sustainable delivery of sports programmes within communities.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone enthusiastic about community development, partnership-building, and empowering people to lead healthier, more active lives.
