The Local Sports Partnership Network Communications Officer will support the delivery of the Communications and Marketing objectives of Sport Ireland’s network of Local Sports Partnerships (LSPs).
The LSP Network Communications Officer will work together with two other LSP Network Communications Officers (based in (Kilkenny and Limerick)) and the LSP Communications Working Group to develop and implement a national LSP Communications plan with a focus on key target groups underrepresented in sport, people with disabilities, those living in socio-economic disadvantaged areas, older people, ethnic communities etc. The officer will have a key role in leading, liaising with the LSPs in an allocated region in order to communicate the progress of the project.
It is envisaged that a two-pronged approach will be needed:
- Support the LSP network to raise awareness of the LSP network itself and their programmes for key target groups.
- Support the delivery of sustainable communications/engagement approaches with key target communities working closely with the LSP network and local and national support groups and organisations.
This national plan contains key targets and indicators for measuring success of the communications plan. Individual LSP Communications plans will be developed or refined (if already in existence) from the National LSP Communications plan.
The role requires the officer to support the LSP network for three days per week and the host LSP for two days per week to strengthen the communication output within the network. The role will work closely with Sport Ireland Participation and Communications units.
