You will be an experienced physical activity, leisure and wellbeing professional with a passion for delivering innovative projects to reach, motivate and engage our residents, in particular children and young people, those with disabilities and long term health conditions.

You will have an ability to bring fresh ideas and be able to work with a range of partners and residents to inspire and motivate people to take part in our health and wellbeing programmes.
