Overview
Salford CVS is the city-wide infrastructure service for the VCSE sector. We support almost 1,000 VCSE groups and organisations in Salford, with 7,000 paid staff and 62,000 volunteers between them. With a 40-strong team of our own, we've been making a difference for local residents since 1919, and we have some exciting plans for the future. We'd like you to be part of them. Leading an exciting new community engagement project, you will understand and break down barriers to physical activity and maximise provision to help residents become healthier and happier. To make this happen, you will design and deliver a far-reaching investment programme for VCSE organisations, so you can expect an extremely high profile.

* Proven ability to conduct research, analyse data and gain clear insights.
* Outstanding interpersonal and stakeholder management skills.
* Demonstrable flair for multi-tasking and prioritising conflicting demands.

* Bring together public bodies, investors and colleagues to secure and deploy funding.
* Manage the relationship with our core partner Salford Community Leisure.
