We are recruiting four Community Activators to work alongside communities across East Staffordshire, primarily in Burton-upon-Trent and Uttoxeter, as part of our Sport England-funded Place-Based work.
You’ll spend time understanding local experiences, priorities and the things that can make being active more difficult. What you hear and learn will help shape ideas, opportunities and positive change.
Each role will be hosted by a different local organisation, giving you the chance to build strong connections within the communities they support and contribute to the next stage of this work.
If you’re a good listener, enjoy building relationships and want to help make sure local voices shape what happens next, this could be the role for you.
About the Role
As a Community Activator, you’ll work with local people and communities across Burton-upon-Trent and Uttoxeter to understand what matters to them and support more people to be active.
You’ll spend time in communities, listening to people’s experiences and ideas, exploring the barriers that can make being active more difficult and helping to support small changes and activities that can make a difference to people’s health and wellbeing.
You’ll also help gather and share community insight, build relationships with local organisations and partners, and support the wider Place Partnership to understand what is working, what is getting in the way and what could be done differently.
Each day will look different. You’ll shape your work around what you learn from local people and your host organisation, while working alongside the other Community Activators as a supportive group.
We’d love to hear from you if you:
- Are a good listener and respond thoughtfully to others
- Enjoy building relationships and working with different people and communities
- Can communicate clearly, both verbally and in writing
- Are adaptable and comfortable working in different environments
- Show empathy and understanding of other people’s experiences
- Can work as part of a team and support others
- Are willing to speak up for community needs
- Enjoy solving problems and finding different ways forward
You don’t need a specific qualification or background to apply. We welcome experience from any part of your life, including employment, volunteering, parenting or caring responsibilities, community organising or personal experience.
If you’re someone who enjoys listening, building trust and helping communities shape what happens next, we’d love to hear from you.
How the role works
All four Community Activators will be employed by Together Active.
Each role will then be seconded to one of four host organisations for the duration of the contract, meaning you will work closely with that organisation and the communities they support while remaining a Together Active employee.

Head of Housing Development
Location: London/Hybrid
Salary: £80,000.00 per annum
Weekly Hours: 35
Reference: YMC1237090
About YMCA
Founded in England in 1844, YMCA today is a global Movement and the world's largest youth-focused charity, reaching more than 58 million people across 119 countries. In England & Wales, we are a federation of 80 local YMCAs, based in over 700 communities across 168 local authorities, supporting young people and communities to reach their potential. We are also the largest provider of supported accommodation in the country — a role that puts housing at the heart of our mission.
YMCA England & Wales is a £23 million organisation of more than 400 colleagues, supporting the wider Federation. Combined, the Movement's turnover across England & Wales reached £386 million in 2025–26. As we grow our income and impact, housing is one of our clearest opportunities for scale: through our 10,000 Homes ambition, we are building a national platform that will let local YMCAs deliver affordable and supported housing faster, at lower risk, and with a unified voice. As we take this ambition forward, we are seeking an established and inspirational Head of Housing Development to lead one of the most pivotal roles in our organisation.
About The Opportunity
This is a brand-new role. Our Head of Housing Development will establish and lead our national Housing Centre of Expertise: the capacity- and capability-building engine behind our 10,000 Homes ambition. This is not a scheme-delivery role — local YMCAs build, own and operate their own homes. Instead, you will mobilise the talent and resources of the Federation around a shared platform for scale: guiding local YMCAs from feasibility through to investment-readiness, brokering the partnerships and expertise no single YMCA could assemble alone, and leading a single national conversation with strategic partners including Homes England, the Greater London Authority and Welsh Government. You will establish a panel of preferred development partners, support funding bids, and help YMCAs learn from one another rather than rebuilding expertise scheme by scheme. Success will be measured by the pipeline and capability you build across the movement, not by any single project.
About You
You bring real knowledge of social and affordable housing development, including structuring significant financing models, grant regimes and the regulatory landscape, alongside hands-on experience of property development projects and securing private and public-sector funding. You know how to build strategic partnerships, convene and influence people you do not manage, and translate strategy into coordinated action across independent partners. Experience mobilising change across a federated, membership or infrastructure organisation would be a strong advantage, combined with an in-depth knowledge of Homes England, Greater London Authority and Welsh Government or similar agencies. Above all, you are a natural relationship-builder who can represent YMCA with confidence at a senior, national level, while helping local YMCAs move further and faster together than they could alone.
