Actify is a social enterprise that provides training and technology for the sport and physical activity (PA) sector that increases knowledge and impact.
We bring together a unique combination of skills and expertise in sport, PA, play, education, health and digital technology that enables us to connect people with the information they need to achieve the best outcomes possible.
Our training helps organisations develop and deliver person centred, outcome focused sport and PA programmes.
The Actify platform (actify.org.uk), and related support services, enable sports and PA organisations to host and manage a range of digital content that help their audiences achieve their outcomes.
We develop our products and services collaboratively with stakeholders from policy, funding, research and practice to ensure our work is responding to needs and interests from across the sector.
As a social enterprise we are focused on working towards long term social change and equality, with all profit being reinvested in achieving our mission and not landing in shareholders pockets. This doesn’t mean we aren’t a serious business, we are entirely focused on being the absolute best and most efficient we can be, it just means that all those involved in the company are doing something excellent and helping make the world a slightly better place.
The Role
We are seeking an energetic and creative Engagement Lead, with experience of working within the sports and physical activity sector, to oversee and drive progress in two related business areas: Engagement and People.
By Engagement we mean, how we get, keep and grow our relationships with users, participants, partners and customers. We want to develop our engagement plans at two levels:
