This post will work as part of the Voluntary Sector Infrastructure Alliance (VSI Alliance) team.  VAC is a partner within the VSI Alliance which provides a range of ‘infrastructure’ services and support to voluntary and community groups across Calderdale.  The VSI Alliance team works closely with voluntary and community organisations to ensure that all groups have equal access to good quality services which in turn help build the capacity of local groups and communities, enabling them to carry out their own objectives effectively.

The purpose of this post is to deliver a range of organisational development support, services and activities to help voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to embed physical activity aligned to the Active Calderdale strategy. 

Your role will create cultural change and service re-design within the VSI Alliance and across VCSE organisations delivering grass roots support and services extending this influence into the communities that use and benefit from these services i.e. as a first step into education, training and employment (linked to Moving Forward Together (MFT) Active First Employment Programme).  

The postholder will be expected to deliver on an agreed plan in a responsive and enabling way using remote, outreach and wider approaches to ensure support offered will enable organisations to promote, host and deliver physical activity in a safe and responsive way which delivers good impact, outcomes for the VCSE workforce, volunteers and their service users.

Reporting to the VAC Team Leader for the VSI Alliance, you will also work as part of an integrated team within the VSI Alliance.
