Role Responsibility
Are you passionate about making a real difference? Can you help us create a healthier, happier, more active future for everyone? Active Kent & Medway is looking for a proactive, organised, and collaborative Project Officer to effectively support the coordination, administration, marketing and reporting of our Place Programme.
Active Kent & Medway is one of 43 Active Partnerships in England. We are hosted by Kent County Council and funded by Sport England to tackle inactivity, which is driven by inequalities. We believe in the power of getting more people, more active, more often for physical and mental health, as well as individual, social, community and economic development.
We know that where you live plays a huge part in how active you are. Nationally, Sport England has committed to £250 million over five years into its work. This role will work alongside colleagues, partners and local communities to support the co-ordination and delivery of our Place Expansion Programme work.
You will be responsible for co-ordinating the day-to-day delivery of programme activities, organise development opportunities, monitor and report on deliverables and work with a range of local partners to promote and support programme implementation.
This role will sit within our Strategy, Insight and Marketing team, providing project support to our Place Programme Managers and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Team.
