Help keep RideWise moving - coordinating the people, systems and services that make greener, more inclusive travel possible. This is a varied, home based role with flexible time for someone who loves organising people, solving problems and making sure community services run brilliantly.

RideWise is an East Midlands based charity helping people and communities travel more actively, sustainably and confidently. Through cycle training, led rides, community projects and practical support, we make cycling, walking and greener transport more accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
