An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Salford CVS to support a new community engagement and investment programme.

We are looking to recruit a part-time (18.75 hours per week) Development Worker (Movement and Physical Activity) on a 3-year fixed-term contract.

You will lead our role in the Place Partner Investment programme in Salford, funded by Sport England (via GM Moving) and working in partnership with Salford Community Leisure. Salford CVS leads on VCSE engagement and investment, while Salford Community Leisure leads on systems change work.

You will engage and build relationships with VCSE organisations in specific areas of Salford in order to understand barriers to physical activity and existing provisions.

Combining this with knowledge already held at Salford CVS and insight from Salford Community Leisure s system-wide engagement activity, you will design and deliver an investment programme for VCSE organisations that drives increases in movement and physical activity across various Salford communities.

To be successful, you will be able to engage with people from a wide range of backgrounds, particularly small charities and community groups.

If that sounds like you then we want to hear from you!
