StreetGames is a charity passionate about harnessing the power of sport to change the lives of young people and their communities. Through our work with 1,600 community partners, StreetGames addresses some of the most pressing issues faced by young people growing up in underserved communities, including poor mental health, food poverty, crime and lack of employment opportunities. We do this by delivering ‘Doorstep Sport’ at the right time, in the right place, in the right style, at the right price and by the right people. Doorstep Sport aims to make sport accessible to everyone regardless of their income and social circumstance.

We are seeking a Place Partnership Manager to join our team in Yorkshire & Humber and the North East.

The Place Partnership Manager (YH/NE) will work closely with the Place Director to establish and deliver regional priorities and opportunities which benefit our network of community partners helping to mobilise our wider team, stakeholder connections and budget through good planning, tracking and communication.

The role provides opportunity to blend operational leadership with strategic partnership at regional level and translate this into an effective regional programme. You will connect with a range of community partners from combined authority level to priority housing estate, while working within a strong team across the organisation who work from national policy to place leadership to practice.

The role involves:

-Ensuring that the work of other areas within StreetGames including the Network Support Team and those leading on community safety, the holiday gap and workforce is well integrated with the strategic work for place and that community partners benefit from the StreetGames Offer.
-Leading on StreetGames’ operational planning for place, including oversight of budget and resources.
-Establishing and maintaining strong working relationships with regional and local NGB teams, to create an enhanced range of opportunities for young people.
-Producing proposals and funding bids that support StreetGames’ strategic approach and fundraising strategy in place.
-Representing StreetGames at external events, including conferences partnership groups, raising the profile of our work and sharing insight that maintains our role as a sector leader.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and motivated professional to lead on the delivery of innovative projects that engage young people from under-served communities to get active through Doorstep Sport. The role calls for someone skilled in building strong partnerships across sectors, influencing stakeholders, and working at a regional level to create positive change. You will have outstanding project coordination, communication, and leadership skills, as well as a solid understanding of community sport, youth engagement, and local landscapes.

We would consider splitting the role around themes of work or place. In line with this, we would also consider job-share, part-time and secondments. If your experience fits all, most or some of this role well and you are have passion for young people, communities and sport, we would be keen to hear about the work you are hungry to do and what you have achieved.

No candidate will meet every single desired requirement. If your experience looks a little different from what we have identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we would love to learn more about you!
