Great Britain Age Group Team Manager Volunteer

Voluntary Position, Expenses Covered

Do you have the time and commitment to be a Great Britain Age Group Team Manager Volunteer?

British Triathlon are looking for an Age Group Team Manager Volunteer to be trained during the ETU European Standard Distance Triathlon (2017) with intent to manage their own Championship event from 2018 onwards.

You will be required to manage the qualification process for Age Group athletes and supporting the team in all aspects of international Championships. You will need to have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills and be able to work and liaise with athletes, British Triathlon staff and major event organisers.

The required commitment will depend on team size and which event you manage but normally will be at its peak around qualifying events and the week of the Championships. Larger events will require the Team Manager to attend the Championships. Smaller events may involve non-travelling duties only.

Expenses will be reimbursed for attendance at Qualification events and full travel and accommodation costs will be covered for attendance at Championships.

Please note this is a voluntary role and you should not underestimate the amount of work involved in managing a large team.
