This role would suit any keen Movember supporter at a club, whether they are a captain, secretary, coach, a regular player or super fan. We also accept those in the health and fitness community, such as personal trainers or gym enthusiasts. The Sports Ambassador will not only look to turn their club and community into a hub for Movember related activities. Sports Ambassadors will also be responsible for garnering support in the clubs, leagues, competitions or governing bodies they are involved in.

This Movember staff member is dedicated to supporting ambassadors throughout their journey and committed to providing them with advice, techniques, tools and materials to ensure they can fulfil their role as an ambassador. This will include:
- Regular support from the Movember team
- Ambassador Facebook group

Timings
Deadline for applications: 23rd July.
Training Sessions: 3 time slots will be provided for late August to allow you to attend at least each one and meet your fellow ambassadors.

Your mental health is paramount to us, and if you ever feel that the additional responsibilities are becoming a burden, Movember encourages ambassadors to take a break and ensure they are mentally well. For further information email oswin@movember.com or call 0207 952 2060
