Job Description
The Community Manager will lead on enabling the Sport Birmingham team and the partners
who invest here, to understand and connect with the local community organisations,
networks and audiences across our diverse City.
Working closely with the Senior Partnership Manager you will develop effective relationships
across system partners including: Sport for development partners, Birmingham City Council
(various departments), anchor community organisations and National Governing Bodies of
Sport.
Playing a key role in achieving our ‘Uniting Birmingham’ strategy, the role will engage, inspire
and invest time and resources into local communities, providing advice and guidance, and
where appropriate support groups to access funding and opportunities to help them grow and
sustain.
We know that to reach inactive groups, many of the partners we fund do not have sport and
activity as their primary purpose, and so the role is ‘more than sport’, working across the place
and through voluntary sector organisations to find the audiences that can benefit most from
being active. These could be for example, from low-income areas, people with long term
health condition or disabilities, or from ethnically diverse communities.
The role will line manage and be supported by Project and Business Officers within the team,
and report to the Senior Partnerships Manager (Communities).
