Looking for meaningful part-time work with hours that flex around your other commitments? We'd love to hear from you.

At Sport Lived we believe in the power of sport to enrich lives. We are a UK company that helps young people travel to Australia to play or coach their favourite sport during their gap year, discovering a new country and building skills for the future. Some join a local Melbourne sports club, others take up a paid coaching placement we arrange for them. All live in serviced apartments in South Yarra.

We are looking for an Assistant Programme Coordinator to work alongside our experienced Melbourne Programme Coordinator, reporting to our UK-based Operations Manager. Our overseas team are the face of the company and embody our ethos that nothing is too much trouble.

What you'll do

- Build close relationships with our customers, visiting them regularly and supporting them throughout their time in Melbourne
- Help organise sports club memberships and coaching placements
- Build and maintain a network of sports clubs, coaching organisations and employers across Melbourne
- Help customers settle into life here, including Working with Children Checks, Medicare, gym membership and a programme of fun social events
- Oversee airport transfers and help customers settle into their apartments
- Maintain good relationships with our accommodation providers

Our customers are mainly 18 or 19, and for many it is their first time travelling independently. You would be one of the first people they meet here,



and the one they turn to when they need a hand. Why the role works well as adaptable part-time work

- Hours are flexible and vary week to week and season to season. They can be arranged around school pick-ups, drop-offs and school holidays
- Busiest in the few weeks after customers arrive, in late September, January and March, and lighter in between.
- Great as a standalone part-time role, or to add hours alongside other part-time work
- Friendly, supportive team environment

What we're looking for

- Excellent interpersonal skills, and a kind, friendly, approachable manner
- Great organisational skills and attention to detail
- A proactive, can-do attitude and the ability to work independently
- A good problem solver who can juggle several things at once
- Experience of working with young people, whether through work, coaching, volunteering or raising a family
- A current driving licence and access to a car

Good knowledge of sport in Melbourne is helpful but not essential. Our customers are based in South Yarra, and most of their sports clubs and coaching placements are in the southeast suburbs, so easy access to that part of Melbourne is helpful. If you love connecting with people and want flexible, rewarding work that fits around your life, this could be the role for you.
