BRITISH POWERLIFTING IS RECRUITING
British Powerlifting is currently recruiting for two paid positions and three voluntary roles. A further voluntary Safeguarding Lead position will be advertised shortly.
We are particularly pleased that we are now recruiting two paid roles. British Powerlifting has grown considerably, and these posts will give us dedicated professional capacity alongside the work of our volunteers.
PAID ROLES
This is a fully remote, part-time role of approximately 14 hours per week, initially offered on a one-year contract.
The successful applicant will support the day-to-day administration of British Powerlifting and work directly with me as CEO. The work includes correspondence, meeting administration, record-keeping, member enquiries, competition support and helping to prepare reports and communications.
This would suit somebody who is highly organised, communicates clearly and can manage a varied workload independently. It offers flexible remote work and the opportunity to gain broad experience across the operations and governance of a national sporting organisation.

They will support and manage our International Head Coaches, improve selection and review processes, develop shared standards and help strengthen athlete experience, coach development and long-term performance planning.
The focus is programme leadership and management.
