Types of roles
- Team UCL Social Leagues & Tournaments
We run weekly leagues and one-off tournaments in a number of sports, find out more here. Our activators are on hand to make sure everyone has the best experience. Responsibilities include equipment management, tracking attendance and creating content for social media. This is a great role to get hands on experience running events and you'll play a big part in shaping the leagues and tournaments.
- Project Active Pay & Play
Project Active is TeamUCL's programme of inclusive and beginner friendly physical activity. Activators facilitate our Pay & Play sessions (including football, badminton and table tennis) to make sure everyone feels welcome and included. This is a great way to get more involved in a sport you love, get more students taking part and develop your own skills.
- All Jokes Aside
Want to improve wellbeing at UCL? All Jokes Aside offers free sport and activity sessions for male-identifying students, creating spaces to make friends, try new sports and build routine. The campaign's ultimate goal is to improve the mental health and wellbeing of male-identifying students. Our All Jokes Aside activators contribute to that mission by helping to deliver Pickleball and Pickup Basketball sessions each week during term time.
