Job Description
Special Olympics Greater London is looking to recruit some passionate volunteers for an exciting opportunity to sit on their Regional Steering Group to help shape the future of sport for people with an intellectual disability across Greater London.
Each Region of Special Olympics Great Britain is led by a voluntary Regional Steering Group. This group of individuals represent stakeholders from within the Region and regularly meet to discuss activity and developments, but who also vote to agree on how resources are allocated to Special Olympics activity.
The positions we currently have available on the Greater London steering group are;
Main Contact
Responsible for receiving information and contact from a variety of sources, including Special Olympics GB National Office, and for sending it to the most relevant person or people from within the Steering Group. They are also responsible, unless stated in communications, for replying to requests for information from Special Olympics GB National Office, or any Special Olympics Club or Network. This person and their contact details will be included on the website, to allow people interested in Regional Competition to make contact.
Competition Coordinator (x2)
Responsible for creating, managing and coordinating a Regional Competition Calendar, which includes:
• collating and sharing information on local and regional competition details (sports, venues, host details, dates)
• supporting the involvement of the Region at national or international competitions
• being an active member of the Regional Steering Group and any Grant approval processes in place
• supporting competition hosts to complete the event sanctioning process
The Competition Coordinators are not required to actually deliver or run any events, unless they choose to. They are required to coordinate the offer of support from the Region and Special Olympics GB, with the needs and requirements of those hosting competition events. For example they would ensure the event hosts complete the event sanction forms before passing them to National Office for approval, or would signpost competition event hosts to grants available from the Region. Competition Coordinators may also work with other volunteer groups, alongside the Volunteer Coordinator (if in place), to provide an additional resource for competition hosts.
