Job Description
Do you want to use your expertise and skills to help change how sport and physical activity is delivered locally? Are you committed to narrowing the inequalities in participation and reducing inactivity? Can you do this by drawing out learning from a wealth of information and have a flair for turning information into compelling stories? If so we’d love to hear from you.
Sport England’s Strategy Towards an Active Nation has a focus on tackling inactivity, particularly for under-represented groups. It aims to tackle this through a place-based approach with a particular focus on 12 local delivery pilots (LDPs)
Where people live and work plays a big part in the choices they make to be active. We know a more holistic and systematic approach is important if we are to tackle the challenge of stubborn inequalities in participation. This challenge and the escalating pressure on local investment have required Sport England to re-think the way we work locally.

Our Local Delivery work focuses on these challenges, including:
· Developing and testing a blueprint for sustainable population level change in activity in a place, using an asset based whole systems approach.
· Maximising our influence on the sport and physical activity sector, influencing how sport and physical activity is commissioned and supplied.
Working in the Local Learning and Improvement Hub you will be supporting our local delivery pilot work and contribute to the Hub’s wider influencing role on the system locally. It creates leadership development opportunities for local partners and responds to common local challenges by developing tools, resources and learning opportunities.

We are an open, friendly and collaborative team looking for an outstanding individual to join us to help transform how communities engage with physical activity. A key part of your role will be supporting the work both internally and with partners externally providing knowledge management, curation and communication of our learning from the LDPs and other Hub activities together with supporting the leadership programme.

Sport England recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly where we are under-represented, currently, this includes disabled people and those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups.
