HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER
A Human Resources Manager (HR Manager) deals with the recruitment, training, contracting, benefits and wellbeing of the staff at a sports organisation. They devise the club’s HR strategy and make sure it’s carried out in all areas of the business. Creating contracts for employees is a key part of the role, while they also oversee the payroll. Matters concerning equality, inclusion and anti-discrimination fall within the HR department, as do disciplinary and grievance procedures.
