Activity Coordinator

F6IT is looking for an organised, enthusiastic and people-focused Activity Coordinator to help plan and deliver inclusive recreational activities for disabled children and young people across Surrey and the surrounding counties.

This is a varied role combining activity coordination, administration, communication and hands-on session delivery – ideal for someone who enjoys working with children but is equally comfortable organising things behind the scenes.

About F6IT

F6IT (pronounced fit) is a growing Surrey-based charity creating inclusive recreational opportunities for disabled children and young people. Our activities give children opportunities to have fun, develop confidence, build independence and make friendships within safe and welcoming environments. For families, they provide something equally valuable – the chance to be part of a community where their child is understood, included and encouraged to participate. You'll play an important part in making all of that happen.

We’re a small, close-knit team led by our CEO, Laura Baxter, with four other employees, supported by an engaged Board of Trustees and Advisory Group. Joining at this stage of our growth means you can help shape and develop the organisation in a way a similar role in a larger charity couldn’t offer.

A Role With Two Sides

During term time, around 7-8 hours each Saturday will be spent leading and coordinate F6IT's activity sessions primarily in Haslemere with some delivery in Guildford.

The remainder of your hours are much more flexible and focus on everything required to make those sessions successful.

You'll work closely with the CEO to:

• Plan and coordinate upcoming activities and events
• Book activities, coaches and external suppliers
• Liaise with participants, parents and families
• Coordinate and support activity volunteers
• Maintain clear information about upcoming sessions
• Complete activity administration and records
• Provide information and updates to F6IT's Communications Team for social media content
• Work with the Fundraising Team to provide activity information for funding applications and funder reports
• Help ensure activities are organised, appropriately resourced and ready to run

You'll then see that planning come to life when you're on site.

When You're Leading Activities

You'll be one of the key people ensuring sessions are safe, welcoming, organised and enjoyable.

That will include:

• Welcoming children, young people and their families
• Coordinating coaches, activity providers and volunteers
• Supporting children and young people to participate
• Acting as a designated lead for safeguarding, first aid and manual handling during sessions
• Ensuring risk assessments and operational procedures are followed
• Monitoring participant wellbeing
• Completing registers and session information
• Recording and escalating incidents or safeguarding concerns appropriately
• Helping create an environment where every child feels included

Hours That Offer Genuine Flexibility

The role is available for 25 hours per week. During term time, you'll need to be available for approximately 7-8 hours on Saturdays when activities take place. The remaining hours can be worked very flexibly around the planning and administration required.

Saturday sessions only operate during term time, so school holiday hours can be worked flexibly during the week instead.

Who Could This Suit?

You don't necessarily need to come from a charity or activities background and instead, your experience might be in:

• Disability
• Teaching or learning support
• Youth work
• Children's services
• Family support
• Community programmes
• Sports or activity provision
• Care or support work

What matters is that you're organised, dependable and confident communicating with different people, while understanding the importance of creating safe and inclusive opportunities for disabled children and young people.

Experience coordinating activities, volunteers or small teams would be particularly valuable.

More Than Delivering Activities

The difference with this role is that you won't simply turn up and run what's already been organised. You'll help make it happen. From the first conversation with a coach or family through to seeing a child enjoying the finished activity, you'll be involved throughout.

If you're looking for a flexible part-time position that combines organisation, communication and hands-on work with disabled children and families, we'd love to hear from you. Your ideas will matter here. As we grow, you’ll have a real say in how our activities and services develop.

The role is subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. Please explain any gaps in your working history. As the role requires working with children it is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.
