Durham Cricket Board, in partnership with the Lord’s Taverners, are looking to appoint a Disability Development Officer to deliver the new and exciting Super 1s programme across Durham.
The officer will provide community based cricketing opportunities, both competitive and coaching, for young people with disabilities. The role combines coaching and development work and will be responsible for engaging young disabled people across Durham into becoming active members of new community based Super 1s disability cricket hubs. These hubs will engage in a programme wide competition and provide a sense of belonging and community amongst its participants. Using cricket as a tool for engagement, the community hubs will provide personal development opportunities to young disabled people through Sports Leaders, informal learning and other cricketing and non-cricketing opportunities.
Initially working to develop three Super 1s hubs across the county, the development officer will use the power of cricket as a tool for change; increasing confidence, communication, leadership and independence in the participants.
Closing date for applications is midnight on 31 August.
Interviews will take place on Thursday 13 September.
