Join ParalympicsGB as a Commercial Manager: Drive Success for Athletes

We are the British Paralympic Association, known as ParalympicsGB. As the National Paralympic Committee for Great Britain, it is our responsibility to select, prepare, enter, fund, and manage the ParalympicsGB team at the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games. Yet, our role extends far beyond merely assembling a world-class sports team renowned for its medal-winning prowess across a diverse range of disciplines.

Driving Change Through Sport

At ParalympicsGB, we are committed to driving positive, sustainable change for disabled people within UK society. Over the past two years, our focus on social impact has intensified, shaped by invaluable insights gleaned from athletes, members of the disabled community, and leaders in the sport, education, and disability sectors. This listening process is not just a tick-box exercise; it’s a core component of our ethos, rooted in understanding the true needs and aspirations of the community we serve.

Our ambition is to harness the transformative power of the Paralympics, leveraging the unparalleled spirit of Paralympic athletes to inspire a shift in attitudes toward disability. We envision a society where equality is not just a goal but a reality—be it in sport, education, or the broader community. To achieve this, our approach is fundamentally disabled-led, ensuring that the voices and experiences of those directly impacted are central to our initiatives.

Exciting Times Ahead

With the thrill of the Paris Paralympic Games lingering in our memories and the recent publication of our strategy document, *Championing Change: Creating Social Impact 2024-2032*, this is a pivotal time to engage with us. Whether you’re an aspiring athlete, a seasoned professional, or someone passionate about disability advocacy, there has never been a more electrifying moment to join our cause.

A world of opportunity awaits. We offer an impressive suite of benefits, including a competitive pension scheme, a cycle-to-work initiative, an employee assistance programme, and private healthcare coverage, coupled with a generous holiday entitlement that underscores our dedication to work-life balance.

A Modern, Flexible Work Environment

Located in accessible, modern offices in the heart of London, we also boast a dedicated performance hub at Loughborough University—a cornerstone for training and athlete preparation. Our organisational culture prioritises flexibility in working patterns, reflecting our understanding that everyone has unique needs and approaches to work. This flexibility allows us to create an environment where all staff can thrive, ensuring that our operational goals align with personal aspirations.

But don’t just take our word for it. Come and meet us! We are a team that embodies community spirit and collaboration. A recent staff survey revealed the following sentiments:

• “There is a real sense of team and a strong sense of pride throughout the organisation. People really work well together.”
• “Being part of an organisation with real impact and purpose, working alongside genuinely kind and talented people.”
• “It’s a great environment to work in, where you have the knowledge that you are making a difference.”

Inspiring Through Athletics

As we gear up for the exciting competitions ahead, it’s worth reflecting on the remarkable achievements of our athletes. The latest statistics from the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games showcased an impressive performance from Team GB, securing over 124 medals**—a testament to months, if not years, of dedication and hard work. These athletes are not just competitors; they are trailblazers, challenging perceptions and breaking barriers with every event.

In every race, every lift, and every throw lies a greater narrative—the stories of resilience, determination, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. This is what makes the Paralympics so compelling: athletes turning adversity into inspiration, making history not just by the medals won but by the legacies created.

Join Our Mission

As we stand on the cusp of another exciting chapter, ask yourself: Are you ready to embrace the challenge? Together, we can champion change and create a more inclusive landscape for disabled individuals in sports and beyond—because every leap, every victory, and every life changed matters immensely.
