Development Manager - Children and Young People

The role

To help Yorkshire Sport Foundation to support a range of partner organisations to connect, influence and support opportunities to get young people more active in West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire.

This is a varied and exciting role for an experienced, enthusiastic and confident manager. You will develop, foster and manage relationships across West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire, understanding the current physical activity landscape and identifying opportunities to influence partners, advocating for movement, physical activity and sport and tackling inequalities.

You will ensure that the voice of children and young people is heard and that there is a safe, inclusive and diverse offer available that is needs-led, fills gaps in community provision, identifies opportunities for long term changes in behaviour, and leads to more children and young people being active in areas that need it the most by reason of health, social or economic inequalities.

You will join an experienced team at Yorkshire Sport Foundation that is committed to delivering our vision of a vibrant, healthy and prosperous Yorkshire through people moving more. We are proud of our working culture, strong teamwork and values which are at the heart of everything we do.

Please make sure that you demonstrate your ability to meet the requirements of the job by giving clear, concise examples of how you meet each criteria on your application form.
