Cycling Development Officer – Kent

Description:

There’s never been a better time to join the team at Cycling UK! We have an ambitious strategy – and we want you to be part of it. There are loads of reasons to love cycling, even if you’re not someone who cycles. From cutting pollution, to making us healthier and happier, cycling can help us all thrive.
As Cycling Development Officer, you will engage and manage relationships with organisations across Kent to develop community-centred cycling activity, supporting groups to create new cycling opportunities or incorporate cycling into their existing services. Working with a range of partners, including bike recycling centres, youth groups, social enterprises and not-for-profit organisations, you will provide guidance to deliver effective, inclusive and sustainable interventions, helping to increase physical activity, encourage cycling as a mode of transport, and address health, social and economic inequalities within local communities.
If you are enthusiastic about supporting communities and improving access to cycling, we want to hear from you!
