You will work closely with the Sports Development Officer, charities, community organisations, schools and local partners to provide welcoming, accessible and enjoyable tennis opportunities across TRP. The role will focus on reducing barriers to participation and

supporting people who may not traditionally engage with tennis, including women and girls, people with disabilities, ethnically diverse communities, individuals from lower socio-economic backgrounds, and people experiencing health or wellbeing challenges.

You will act as an ambassador, creating positive experiences that encourage participants to remain active and continue their tennis journey.
