This is an opportunity to help shape the fan experience, strengthen our local presence, and be part of an ambitious club with big ideas and even bigger potential.

- Coordinate with staff, volunteers, and partners to keep matchdays running smoothly

- Build and deliver outreach programmes across the area
- Introduce the club into schools via workshops, player visits, and grassroots projects

Growing the Seahorses’ fanbase is a huge part of the role.

Marketing & Promotion
Working with the club’s media and marketing team, you’ll help drive visibility across the region.
- Promote events and community programmes

- Experience in community engagement, event management, sports development, or a related field
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- A creative mindset for fan engagement and event ideas

- Ability to work evenings, weekends, and matchdays
Personal Qualities
- Passion for sport and community involvement
- Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable working independently
- Friendly, approachable, and professional

- Free matchday access
- Hands-on experience in sports management, events, and community development
