ABOUT THE ROLE
Team: Active Journeys
As a Flexible Project Officer, you’ll play a key role in delivering a variety of exciting walking, wheeling and cycling initiatives, stepping into different projects where your skills are needed most. No two days are the same, and you’ll thrive in a fast‑paced role that keeps you curious, proactive and making a real impact in communities.

Proactively involve volunteers in projects and activities wherever possible, including recruiting, training and providing ongoing support.
Engaging with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders whilst undertaking project delivery.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being out in the community — whether that’s leading walks, running Dr Bike sessions in schools, or co‑designing neighbourhoods with Urban Designers to help more people walk, wheel and cycle.
