Salary : £38,100 per annum plus Excellent Benefits
Duration: 12 month fixed term contract
Location: Homeworking or hybrid, with regular travel required within England (usually to one of the Sport England offices at Loughborough, London or Bisham Abbey) to attend team, Directorate and organisation meetings.
As Programme Manager for EURO 2028 Legacy and Football Multi-Sport Facilities, you will help lead the delivery of major programmes designed to create a lasting sporting legacy from UEFA EURO 2028 and improve community sports facilities across England. Your work will include the EURO 2028 Legacy Plan, the Innovative Facilities Fund and Local Community Sports Facility Plans.
In this role, you will manage programme plans, budgets, risks, timelines and investment activity, making sure work stays on track and delivers against agreed priorities. You will also monitor progress, support procurement and funding decisions, manage reporting and forecasting, and provide clear updates to senior colleagues and external partners.
You will work closely with colleagues across Sport England as well as government, sports organisations, local authorities and other national and local partners. By bringing these different organisations together, you will help ensure investment is well coordinated and that programmes deliver lasting benefits for communities across England.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex programmes, working with a wide range of partners and turning plans into practical delivery.
Application Deadline: 16th October 2026
Interviews will take place in person at our Canary Wharf office.
At Sport England, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of sport and physical activity – regardless of age, gender, background, bank balance or post code. We are an arm’s length body responsible for growing and developing grassroots sport and helping more people get active across England – around two thirds of our funding comes from players of The National Lottery, with the remainder coming from the Exchequer.
Our work is driven by Uniting the Movement, a 10-year strategy focused on tackling inequalities and creating positive experiences of sport and physical activity for all. From funding local community initiatives to influencing national policy, we work in partnership with organisations and individuals who share our vision of an active nation where everyone feels able to take part and be active in a way that works for them.
