About Destination Deaflympics Project Officer
We increase opportunities by collaborating in partnerships with key organisations creating a sporting future that is fair and inclusive from grassroots to elite sport, empowering deaf people to reach their full potential. We support deaf children, young people and adults, and work with decision-makers and professionals to overcome the challenges and barriers that prevent equal opportunities for deaf people in sport at all levels.
As the National Governing Body for Deaf Sport, we are responsible for ensuring good
governance, raising awareness, increasing participation and winning more medals on the world stage. This includes working with partners domestically, working with Government and the administration and coordination of all National Teams competing abroad, at both a British and Home Nation level. UKDS is responsible for the management of the DeaflympicsGB Team that competes in the Summer and Winter Games. The Destination Deaflympics Project Officer will oversee the delivery of UK Deaf Sport's new Youth Engagement Programme Destination Deaflympics that aims to inspire deaf children aged 8 to 14 and their families.
