Closing date: 22 February 2026
Interview date: 2 March 2026
Job Description: Work in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, in particular Newark and Sherwood and North East Derbyshire, in communities and neighbourhoods experiencing the greatest inequalities. This is to facilitate an understanding of the people who live there, the organisations that work there, and how being active does or doesn’t fit in.

Use this insight and learning to work with organisations and residents to develop new, or support existing activities and behaviours to encourage people in these communities to move more. This will include working out how, with residents and community partners, national and local programmes can support the needs in the place.

Support a key area of work across the whole organisation, working with colleagues and partners to agree approaches, plans and make new relationships. Examples of themed work areas include environment, health, inequalities and investment etc.

Place & Communities Leads need to understand our communities and neighbourhoods, connect with people, and enable change.
