Job description

There’s never been a better time to join the team at Cycling UK. We have an ambitious strategy and we want you to be part of it. There are loads of reasons to love cycling, even if you’re not someone who cycles. From cutting pollution to improving health, wellbeing and social connection, cycling can help communities thrive.

Through understanding community needs and promoting positive behaviour change, you’ll help tackle health, social and economic inequalities while encouraging more people to become physically active and choose cycling as a means of transport.

If you’re passionate about engaging communities, building partnerships and delivering projects that make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.

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 and are committed to creating a culture where everyone feels valued, respected and able to thrive.
