Wycombe Wanderers Sports & Education Trust
Activity Programme Manager Job Advert
Wycombe Wanderers Sports & Education Trust (WWSET), the charitable arm of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club, is seeking to fill the role of Activity Programme Manager based at Adams Park, the home of Wycombe Wanderers FC.
WWSET is a thriving charity that exists to educate, motivate, and inspire using the power of sport, and the brand of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club.
This is an extremely exciting opportunity to join a talented team that are dedicated to engaging with as many people as possible in and around the Wycombe area, with the aim of improving levels of health, social inclusion, education, and sports participation for the good of the community as a whole.
The Activity Programme Manager is an integral role within WWSET and the successful candidate will be responsible for the complete management and delivery of numerous activities including, but not limited to: after school clubs, PPA and in-school coaching, Saturday sessions, holiday courses, birthday parties, mascots, various match day activities, Football League school sports programme, female football development programme, and coach recruitment.
WWSET recognise that employing talented and dedicated staff is critical if we are to continue increasing our range of activities, growing our strong reputation, and maximising the positive impact we have within Wycombe and its surrounding areas.

In addition to this, and due to the varied and challenging nature of the role, it’s imperative that the post holder is driven, adaptable, innovative, efficient, and possesses excellent communication skills.
In order to be considered for the role we ask that applicants send a covering letter and CV via email to paul.foley@wwfc.com.
Please ensure that your application takes into account the necessary skills and experiences that are required to complete the role successfully. These can all be seen in the job description below.
