Our mission is to create opportunities that empower older people to enhance individual and community wellbeing through participation in physical activity and recreational sport, arts and creativity, personal development and active citizenship initiatives.
Age & Opportunity Active is the national sport and physical activity Programme for older people funded by Sport Ireland and the HSE. The Programme is designed to get us more active.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and proactive Active Programme Administrator to provide administrative support across a range of Age & Opportunity Active Programme initiatives, with a particular focus on FitLine.

Working closely with the Active Programme Assistant Manager, the Active Programme FitLine Coordinator and other colleagues, the post holder will help ensure that administrative tasks are completed efficiently and that the wider team is supported in delivering its objectives.
