Thank you for your interest in working for Active Dorset. Our current vacancies can be found below.

The Whyte Review, published in July 2022, questioned the level of safeguarding responsibility delegated to volunteers at a regional/local level. Sport England's policy response, published with UK Sport in January 2023, included a proposal to fund a professional, national network of Sport Welfare Officers in England. These posts are located within Active Partnerships (APs) who have a high level of knowledge of their locality.

The postholder will work with National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and their local clubs to promote good practice and safe sport on a local level. This new role will help further understanding of safeguarding in local sport clubs.
