We’re here to increase the number of people doing sport and activity – no matter what their background, ability or age. From traditional team sports to activities like walking or going to the gym – we’re building an active nation that caters for everyone. Our vision is that everyone in England, regardless of age, background or ability, feels able to take part in sport or activity. Some might be fit and talented, but others won’t be so confiden
We will contribute to the government's strategy by working to:
Increase the number of people in England taking part in sport and activity and decrease the number of people who are physically inactive
Increase the proportion of young people (11-18) who have a positive attitude to sport and being active
Make sure public facilities are used fully and effectively to get maximum use from communities
Increase the number of children who are physically literate – i.e. confident and competent in sport and activity
Increase the number of adults using the great outdoors for exercise and wellbeing
Contribute to UK and home nation performance in major sporting events at home and abroad (through our various projects to support talented individuals)
Increase investment in sport from sources outside the public sector
Increase the number of people volunteering in sport at least twice in the last year
Make sure volunteers are from a wider range of backgrounds and lifestyles to ensure this group represents society as a whole
Our values define who we are as an organisation and highlight what we do to go the extra mile to set us apart. From creating an organisation we all enjoy, believe and thrive in, to creating a positive employer brand and effective partnerships with our stakeholders.
One team committed to delivering together and working with others to make a difference to people’s lives.
Determined in pursuit of our goals, prioritising work and partnerships that will most advance our mission, help us succeed and make a positive impact on the nation.
Harnessing our collective strength and respecting difference to create the conditions for everyone to engage and to excel.
Curious, optimistic and relentless, we question established ways of working and learn from each other and from our experiences.
These values are an integral component to our recruitment and selection processes. This approach is intended to attract and select employees on the basis that their individual values and behaviours align with our values.
Of course, skills, experience and aptitude will continue to be important, but by integrating values into our selection processes, we ensure that we recruit the right people not only with the right skills, but with the right mindset.
Our commitment to diversity
Diversity is critical for the business to be successful. We strive to further equality and diversity in the workplace and the sports sector as a whole.
As an employer, we aspire to being a diverse, inclusive and responsible organisation. Our aim is to have a workforce that can reflect and understand the communities we serve.
We respect and value our individual characteristics and differences, so staff can fully realise their potential. That’s why we aim to ensure that the people who work for us are the best they can be.
We recognise the achievements, talent, passion and experience in our staff, who can help deliver our strategic outcomes – you don't have to be sporty to work at Sport England.
