Passionate about using cricket to connect, inspire, and transform communities? Join Warwickshire Cricket Foundation as our Cricket Cities Community Coach and play a key role in expanding access to cricket within inner-city communities. This 12-month maternity cover role is based at Edgbaston Cricket Ground and reports to the Women and Girls Community Manager.

You will deliver high-quality community coaching sessions as part of the Cricket Cities project, support the promotion of female participation programmes, and work closely with community and external partners to strengthen WCF’s community cricket offer.

We are seeking an experienced female coach with a strong background in community delivery, including coaching women and girls in inner-city and culturally diverse settings.
