Job Role – Ossett Cricket and Athletic Club – Club Manager

Ossett Cricket and Athletic Club is a multifunctional sports club with fantastic facilities for the local community and beyond. Currently the Club hosts five sporting sections which include Rugby Union, Cricket, Junior Football, Bowls and Snooker.

We are a not-for-profits, community driven sports, social & events venue, open to everyone 7 days a week where membership is not compulsory but carries many benefits and offers reduced prices on everything.

Although we are sport based, our venue hosts hundreds of functions every year, from 1:1 meetings to huge celebrations catering for up to 150 people at all kinds of events: Weddings, wakes, birthdays, christenings, anniversaries, etc.

We are guided by an age-old sporting constitution that governs all matters within the club. A small group of elected officials (all of whom are volunteers) carry the burden of decision making solely in the best interests of the Ossett sporting community, just like their predecessors did for decades.

Sustainability is key and maximising the huge potential our bar area has to offer brings much needed funds into the club, enabling our finance committee to distribute any profits back in to the sporting sections to help them continue to thrive. These funds are essential for sport to flourish in Ossett.

We are seeking to appoint a Club Manager who will work closely with our ‘people’ to sustain and grow our club further and ensure we continue to be embedded within our community.

Please see the Job Description below and if you feel you have the appropriate skills and qualities, please send your CV and covering email to secretary@yourossettclub.co.uk by the closing date of 27th January. Interviews will take place week commencing 17th February.

For an informal discussion, please contact the above email and we will get in touch.
