Development Manager, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Organisation: Active Humber
Salary: 33,119
Location: Humber region
Contract type: Permanent (Full time)
Closing date: 12 June 2026
Interview date: 29 June 2026
Job Description: 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. The Development Manager (Equality, Diversity & Inclusion) is a new role and you will play a crucial role in designing and delivering programmes that increase participation in community based physical activity and sport among disadvantaged communities across the Humber. You’ll build partnerships, advocate for change, and co-create opportunities that are inclusive, meaningful, and impactful.

This role will focus on supporting communities who face the biggest barriers to being active — including people from lower-income backgrounds, culturally diverse communities and LGBTQ+ communities. You will work with local organisations, charities and public sector partners to develop programmes and opportunities that help more people become physically active and improve their health and wellbeing.

You will play a key role in ensuring that equality, diversity and inclusion are embedded across all of our work, while helping community organisations access support, training and investment to grow their activity programmes

The successful candidate will have experience working with underrepresented communities - particularly LGBTQ+, lower-income, and ethnically diverse groups. Experience of working within sport or physical activity is not an essential requirement.

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.

We welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds as our aim is to have a workforce that reflects the communities and groups that we encourage to become more physically active.
