There are loads of reasons to love cycling, even if you’re not someone who cycles. From cutting pollution, to making us healthier and happier, cycling can help us all thrive.

This role will be pivotal in the success of Cycling UK’s programme Making Cycling E‑asier by delivering e‑cycle loan activities and supporting further Cycling UK community‑based behaviour change interventions across the region (Inclusive Cycling Experience, Big Bike Revival Community Cycle Clubs). As a self‑motivated, proven relationship builder, you will help drive key audiences to local authority‑delivered training events and support them on their behaviour change journey.

Please note that this role is a hybrid role with a mix of home‑based working and operating out of a community hub in Manchester multiple days per week. Therefore, it is important that you are based in a location either in Greater Manchester or with easy access to Manchester, and are willing to travel to the site regularly to be hands‑on in the community encouraging cycling as a mode of transport.

We are an inclusive organisation and would particularly welcome applications from candidates from a broad range of backgrounds. We strongly believe that diversity strengthens our work.
