Sports Coordinator

Saints in the Community is looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Sports Coordinator to lead the development of our football and wider sports programmes across Perth & Kinross.

We are the official charity associated with St. Johnstone Football Club, using the reach and identity of the Club and football to create opportunities and improve lives across our community through Sport, Education and Wellbeing.

You’ll need to be organised, proactive and excited by the opportunity to develop new ideas and grow our sports offer.
