Do you have experience in bringing organisations and people together to achieve shared goals and improve inclusion? We are looking for a London region-based professional to join our team.

Activity Alliance and London Sport, the Active Partnership for London, are working together to improve disabled people's experiences in sport and activity. We are seeking a London-based professional to join our team.

You will have good knowledge of the sport and activity sector and how it operates and be able to advocate improvements that enable more disabled people to get active. You will also have knowledge of the non-sport sectors, including disabled people's organisations, and how to establish relationships to build effective cross-sector partnership working.

We are looking for a person with experience of working strategically at a place-based and/or locality level within the London region. Someone who can positively influence local developments and investments to tackle the inequalities disabled people face in sport and activity through inclusive practice.

You will have knowledge and expertise in understanding the wider systems and barriers within disabled people's lives. This could include disabled children and young adult services, health and social care, transport, or education. This understanding, along with your excellent relationship skills, will help you establish connections that build effective cross-sector partnership working.

The successful candidate will be working remotely and from home, based in the London region. This role will involve occasional travel to our Loughborough and Manchester offices.

This role is full-time on a two-year fixed-term contract.

We offer 26.5 days of annual leave, including birthday leave, plus bank holidays. Activity Alliance also closes between Christmas and New Year, so employees are not expected to work during this time and are not required to use their annual leave allowance for this time off.

Activity Alliance currently offers the following benefits:

• Time off in lieu
• A contributory pension scheme (employee 6%, employer 9%)
• Cycle to work scheme
• Eye care
