SUMMARY OF THE ROLE

Active Sussex is the brand name of The Sussex County Sports Partnership Trust (SCSPT) and is one of 43 Active Partnerships across England. We work collaboratively with a range of partners to create the conditions for an active nation and use the power of sport and physical activity to transform lives at a local level.

We aim to address inequality and empower everyone to move more in a way that works for them, and our goal is that everyone across Sussex can access the health and wellbeing benefits of being active.

Active Sussex has a small but inspiring team that needs a new recruit to take on the challenges and rewards of helping the Trust work towards
reducing inequalities through access to physical activity opportunities.
