Job description

Active Partnerships is the national organisation supporting a network of 42 local Active Partnerships across England, working together to create healthier, more active communities. Behind that network sits a small, friendly national team - and this role is at the heart of keeping it connected.

They're looking for an organised, proactive and creative person to support their communications and events team, and to be a go-to person for colleagues in the Sport Welfare team. If you enjoy helping others, like variety, and take real satisfaction in things running smoothly, this role will suit you.WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Helping their events run smoothly - researching venues, gathering quotes from suppliers, welcoming delegates on the day, and pulling together feedback afterwards
• Creating and sharing content across their website, newsletters and social media channels
• Becoming the friendly first point of contact for their network-wide Microsoft Teams space, which connects more than 1,000 people across the network
• Spending around one day a week supporting their Sport Welfare team - including a weekly roundup email that more than 60 Sport Welfare Officers receive
• Supporting the wider team with things like slide decks, registration forms, meeting notes and general admin

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKEWithin six months, you'll be confidently starting the groundwork for events on your own, drafting content without extensive briefing, getting the weekly roundup out on time every Friday, and known across the organisation and the network as a key contact for communications and events. You'll have freed up your colleagues to focus on the bigger picture - and that's exactly the point of the role.
