Position purpose
The Sports Inclusion Officer delivers school sports clinics, gala days and sport development programs that bring inclusive sport to schools and community groups across NSW. Working with teachers, coaches and club partners who hold primary duty of care for their own students or members, the Officer's core function is running excellent, inclusive sport sessions, not individualised disability support. Over time this role is expected to grow beyond school clinics into broader sport development and pathway programs.

- Bring programs together on the day: set the tone, run warm-ups, games, skills stations and competition formats.
- Adapt activities in real time to include participants of different abilities, ages and skill levels.
- Work as part of a rostered team of Officers and coaches to deliver larger clinics and events.
Partnerships and delivery
- Work alongside teachers, school staff and sporting club partners, who retain duty of care for their own students and members during clinics.
- Where a specific NDIS participant is embedded in a session with a briefed individual support plan, apply that plan's strategies and the NDIS Code of Conduct for that participant.
- Represent 4titude and Sports 4 All professionally with schools, sporting bodies and community partners.
Safety, safeguarding and compliance
- Follow 4titude's WHS, incident reporting, safeguarding and risk management procedures at all times.
- Uphold NSW Child Safe Standards and 4titude's obligations under the reportable conduct scheme when working with children.
- Escalate concerns, incidents or behaviours of concern promptly to the session lead or line manager.
Team, culture and development
- Contribute to a positive, high-energy team culture consistent with 4titude's values.
- Attend pre-program briefings and debriefs, and support new or casual team members during induction and shadow shifts.
- Contribute ideas for expanding sport offerings into new sports and settings as the program grows.
Other duties
- Assist with set-up and pack-down of equipment and venues.
- Contribute to attendance records, incident forms and session documentation.
