Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location: HalesowenDo you believe learning is the root of place-based change? Are you driven to turn insight, evidence and lived experience into action that improves lives?
Active Black Country is recruiting 3 Learning Leads to play a pivotal role in shaping a more active, healthier future across Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton. As a Learning Lead, you’ll put learning at the heart of place-based working - capturing what’s working (and what isn't), sharing insight across partners, and strengthening collaboration to tackle physical inactivity through Sport England’s Place-Based investment.

Your experience could come from any sector - community development, health, education, local government, research or beyond. What matters most is your expertise to lead learning, build trusted relationships and help places learn their way forward.
If you’re excited by the idea of learning with communities, not just about them — we’d love to hear from you. Final date to receive applications: 30th January 2026.
