• Develop relationships with national and local organisations to understand their needs and where we can help to change lives.

The role requires an experienced officer with both project management and relationship development experience. You should have an understanding of the changing lives approach and engaging with new and diverse groups. Experience in developing partnerships and plans are essential for this role. Experience in a sporting/youth work setting is essential to this role.

The role will require regular evening and weekend work.
