Head of Communications and Marketing

Head of Communications & Marketing

We’re looking for a Head of Communications & Marketing to lead the strategic communications and marketing function of the organisation, shaping how people, organisations and systems understand the role of physical activity in creating healthier, fairer communities.

The Yorkshire Sport Foundation is a National Lottery-funded charity working across South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire and part of a network of England-wide Active Partnerships. We are passionate about making it easier for everyone to be active, but we know that good ideas, strong evidence and inspiring stories aren't enough on their own.

• You’ll translate complex evidence into clear and persuasive narratives.
• You’ll use insight and behavioural science to influence action.
• You’ll help partners across the system create greater impact.
• You’ll be equally comfortable thinking strategically and delivering practical activity that drives meaningful outcomes.

The role works closely with our CEO, all members of our organisation and partners across the region. Success will often mean helping others tell their stories and build support, rather than seeking recognition for Yorkshire Sport Foundation itself.

Location:

Yorkshire Sport Foundation, Nepshaw Lane South, Morley, Leeds, LS27 7JQ

Salary: £48,221 to £52,656 plus travel expenses, pension contribution and benefits.

Contract:

Permanent.

If you're passionate about using communications and marketing as a force for positive change, and want to help more people across Yorkshire move more, feel better and thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
