Volunteering for Team England at Birmingham 2022

Be part of Team England

We are now recruiting for volunteers to support Team England's communications team at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham next summer. The team behind the team are absolutely crucial in creating the right performance environment to ensure Team England athletes can compete at their best in front of a home crowd and inspire the nation.

The roles vary across multi-sport press officers, celebrating victory officers and digital content producers.

We have a firm commitment to making sport more inclusive and we know that sports administration has an underrepresentation of those from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities. So we strongly encourage you to apply if you consider yourself to be currently underrepresented in this space.

We would like you to meet some of our former volunteers...
