UK Ministry of Defence
Date: 1 week ago
City: Portsmouth
Contract type: Part time
HMS NELSON, HM Naval Base Portsmouth
Job Summary
His Majesty’s Naval Base Portsmouth (HMNBP) has been an integral part of the city since 1194. It is home to almost two-thirds of the Royal Navy's surface ships, including the new aircraft carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth; HMS Prince of Wales; the formidable Type 45 destroyers; Type 23 frigates; and mine countermeasures and fishery protection squadrons.
The base is a major employer and provides lodging facilities to RN personnel serving at the base and in Portsmouth based ships.
HMNBP is one of three naval bases providing enabling support as part of the nation’s defence strategy. In doing so, HMNBP seeks to improve through science and technology to strengthen its security and defence at home and overseas. This requires continuous improvements in building capacity, capability and resilience through its people. It is the home base for assigned ships and ship’s companies preparing for operations. A key component of achieving this support is the ability to deliver the full range of increasingly sophisticated engineering support services. The unique employment opportunities offered are varied, challenging and exciting and support Navy Command’s role to generate and operate forces for today and to ensure we are ready for tomorrow by developing and delivering the Navy of the future. Navy Command provides an open, flexible and supportive work environment and Civil Servants, Contractors and Armed Forces personnel work together in a wealth of interesting and challenging jobs in different disciplines.
In Navy Command, our civil servants work alongside their military colleagues in jobs that matter; jobs which often have a direct impact on the quality of the operational capabilities we deliver.
Roles can offer great job satisfaction and there are many opportunities to develop and progress both within the Department and across the wider Civil Service.
Job Description
This is an exciting opportunity to work within the HMS Nelson Physical Development Team. The Sports Development Officer (SDO) portfolio is a key component of Armed Forces operational capability, and comprises three pillars: Sport, Physical Education and Adventurous Training. Physical Development (PDev) offers a vital contribution in that it helps develop fitness, teamwork, leadership, self-discipline, determination, co-ordination, courage, individual and collective resilience, and consequently morale and fighting spirit. PDev also plays a meaningful part in Service life overall and is a core activity that provides a balance for the stresses of military life.
RN Physical Development programmes contribute significantly to the development and sustainment of the Moral Component of Operational Capability by delivering individuals who are mentally and physically robust with a high degree of war-fighting spirit; they also make a substantial contribution to the maintenance of high morale. This is inextricably linked to operational efficiency; authorised PDev is a condition of service with duty status and is a core activity that cannot be considered discretionary.
In support of the Live Well strategy, the SDO is key to the facilitation, administration and delivery of PDev to establishment personnel. They provide support and advice to establishment sports teams, facilitate fitness training and testing, adventurous activities and have a close working relationship with the People Support Sports Delivery Teams, the Deployable Regional Unit and broader RN Sports Associations. A key delivery objective is to provide opportunities for participation in PDev at all levels across the establishment.
The SDO will be the conduit to providing grassroots opportunities and thus supporting the RN SDO continuum at all levels and assist in delivery of regional events and NAVYFit festivals at their establishments (necessitating carriage of equipment and stores between sites). MT is available for use to holders of full UK driving licence with appropriate licence categories to include use of minibuses.
Key Responsibilities Will Be In The Following:
This vacancy is for a full-time position and advertised at 37 hours per week. (There may be a limited requirement to work outside of core working hours and weekends)
The successful candidate will require an enhanced DBS check before a formal job offer can be made.
