Hessle, Hybrid working role

Active Humber is committed to promoting physical activity and sports across the Humber region. Our vision for the Humber is that it is a place where everyone, every day is physically active.

Are you passionate about inclusion and equity, especially for underrepresented groups?

If so, this is the opportunity for you.  As our new Development Manager (Community & Inequalities), you’ll play a crucial role in designing and delivering programmes that increase participation in sport and physical activity among disadvantaged communities across the Humber. You’ll build partnerships, advocate for change, and co-create opportunities that are inclusive, meaningful, and impactful.

Key to success in this role is the ability to develop and maintain strong relationships with organisations supporting underrepresented communities.  As the postholder you will also support our Community Ambassador Scheme to empower individuals as champions of physical activity.

The successful candidate will have experience designing and delivering programmes in physical activity, sport, health, or community development.  You will have experience working with underrepresented communities - particularly LGBTQ+, lower-income, and ethnically diverse groups.

As part of the development team, you will work closely with communities to understand local needs and opportunities.  This includes supporting training, insight gathering, and identifying investment opportunities to grow and sustain local programmes. 

We offer hybrid working for a better work-life balance, along with a generous annual leave allowance.  You will be expected to attend our workspace in Hessle, at least once a week.
