An opportunity for 25 young sports enthusiasts to become a 'Game Changer' for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games has been announced.
Organisers are looking for young people wishing to pursue a career in the sports industry to apply for positions to work behind the scenes of the games.
Of the 25 roles, 19 are for assistant sport competition managers - no experience is necessary.
The roles involve assisting in planning and delivery of each competition, helping to ensure that the athletes, team officials and technical officials have what they need at all times.
There are six further vacancies in the sports team, which include coordinators, a sports publications coordinator and technical officials.
Director of Sport for Birmingham 2022, Matt Kidson, said: "We're looking for candidates that can demonstrate an absolute passion for sport and that are keen to learn the ropes from our experienced and dedicated team.
"We have a fantastic and varied programme of sport to deliver and so this is an amazing opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at how a major sport event is organised and to kickstart your career in sport in spectacular style."
The 25 recruits will be joining a team that is tasked with delivering a sports programme that includes 19 sports and eight para sports – the biggest para-sport programme in Commonwealth Games history.
The new recruits will join more than 300 people already employed by Birmingham 2022 to deliver the 22nd edition of the Commonwealth Games which will be staged next summer from 28 July to 8 August.
More information about the jobs can be found online here and the closing date for applying for these roles is 13 May.
