About the Role

Informal Queries

For informal queries about the role, please contact Olivia Brook, Recruitment Manager, at [email protected]

The Head of Student Sport is a senior leadership role within the Students Delivery function at Warwick Sport. Reporting to the Assistant Director of Sport – Sports Delivery & Operations, the post holder is a key member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) responsible for driving the student sport and active wellness agenda across the university.

The role exists to implement the student-specific strands of the University's Active Wellness & Sports Strategy. It serves as the bridge between strategic intent and day-to-day delivery, ensuring sport and physical activity are embedded as meaningful components of the wider student experience. The post holder oversees an operation that engages over 13,000 students annually — including 5,000 participating in 61 competitive sports clubs and a further 4,000 in recreational programmes.

About You

The ideal candidate is an experienced, sports development leader who combines strategic thinking with hands-on operational delivery. They are equally comfortable presenting business cases to senior stakeholders as they are supporting a team of Head Coaches on the ground.

Leadership & Management

A proven people leader who can inspire high performance, set clear expectations, and hold teams accountable through objectives and KPIs. They delegate effectively, manage competing demands, and create a culture of continuous improvement.

Sports Development Expertise

They bring authoritative knowledge of physical activity and sports development, with a strong understanding of statutory requirements and safeguarding obligations in sport. Hands-on experience of leading sports development programmes — ideally in a complex, multi-strand environment — is essential.

Strategic and Commercial Acumen

The candidate can translate strategy into delivery plans and has experience building evidence-based business cases and funding bids. They understand financial governance, budgetary control, and resource management within a devolved operating context.

Stakeholder and Relationship Skills

Strong interpersonal and influencing skills are a must. The successful candidate will be confident representing Warwick Sport externally (e.g. with BUCS, NGBs, and commercial partners) while also navigating complex internal university relationships across procurement, finance, legal, and the Students' Union.

Higher Education Experience

Experience of working within a higher education setting is desirable, though not essential. What matters most is an ability to understand and operate within a complex institutional environment where sport serves a broader student wellbeing and experience mission.

Personal Attributes

The role demands tenacity, drive, and determination — someone who takes ownership, makes independent decisions when needed, and remains focused on outcomes. Flexibility is also required, with some evening and weekend working expected.

Key Responsibilities

Provide strategic leadership as part of the Senior Leadership Team, delivering business plans, budgets, and major projects
Lead the growth of participation across sport, physical activity, and wellbeing programmes for students, staff, and the community
Oversee delivery of Active Wellbeing, club sport, and performance sport programmes, enhancing the overall student experience
Develop and manage budgets, driving income generation and commercial opportunities
Build and manage strategic partnerships, including with the Students’ Union and key University stakeholders
Lead, develop, and manage high-performing teams, ensuring clear targets, performance monitoring, and staff development
Continuously review and innovate programmes to meet strategic objectives and sector trends
