Job description

Nottingham Place Partnership Neighbourhood Lead

We’re looking for a Neighbourhood Lead to play a vital role in strengthening local capacity across the Nottingham Place Partnership’s priority areas. Through engagement, facilitation, and coordination, the Neighbourhood Lead will ensure that local voices and lived experience shape services, investment decisions, programme development, and workforce approaches across Nottingham City.

Building strong, collaborative partnerships with sporting organisations, voluntary sector partners and local statutory bodies in the priority areas of Bilbrough, Bestwood and Cinderhill, Beechdale, Aspley, St Ann’s, and Clifton will allow the Neighbourhood Lead to gain an understanding of the people who live there, the organisations that work there, and how being active does or doesn’t fit in.

At the heart of Place Partnership work in Nottingham is our shared vision: ‘children, young people, and families in Nottingham feel connected and confident to move in ways that fit their lives and improves their health and wellbeing.’ The Neighbourhood Lead will be comfortable and confident in advocating for this vision, and will help local organisations develop their workforce to deliver sport and physical activity, with our shared vision in mind.
