VACANCIES - Community Digital Engagement Officers

Active Black Country is part of the national network of Active Partnerships.

We are principally funded by Sport England to work with local partners to create opportunities for people to be physically active, move more, and play sport.

We work with a diverse range of partners and manage several grant funding programmes and projects that aim to create opportunities for local people in the Black Country to be active.

About the role

To support the implementation of our programmes and projects, we are seeking to appoint two Community Digital Engagement Officers to support the ABC Digital Inclusion Lead – supporting community organisations to become confident and competent in using digital technology to make it easier for residents to access physical activity opportunities online.

• Enjoys working with a range of partners
• Enjoys supporting and working with local black country residents and community organisations.
• Confident in applying strong digital knowhow and supporting communities with digital literacy

The role will be based out of our offices in Halesowen operating on a hybrid basis with some home-based working incorporated.

Active Black Country encourages diversity to maximise achievements, good practice, innovation and impact, and we aim to ensure our organisation reflects the communities we aim to serve. We especially welcome applicants from under-represented or marginalised groups including, but not limited to, people from ethnically diverse communities and those with a disability or long-term health condition.
