Move More Champion for Bedford - Be Active - Active Partnership

We're offering a great chance for someone to be a Move More Champion in Bedford. The individual will enjoy working with others and care about their community. The ambassador will be someone with a passion for working with the community who can listen and support to open doors and make connections to help increase physical activity.

Applicants will understand the needs of their local community and work with the community to understand the barriers to physical activity. It's important to work closely with partners to improve opportunities and essential to utilise Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) and Fuller Neighbourhood Models.

The successful candidate will be community based reporting to Be Active but also supported by a range of key strategic partners across Bedford Borough. This is a great opportunity for someone who is already embedded in the community or who is able to clearly communicate with people, listen and support proactively. Building connections with multiple stakeholders will be essential.

Be Active aims to be a diverse, inclusive organisation that values lived experience and is reflective of the communities we work with. We welcome applications from people with diverse experiences and backgrounds.

Additional benefits include:

• Flexible office and hybrid working
