Head of Healthy Active Children

Location:  Kidlington, Oxfordshire
Contract:  Fixed Term Contract,  Part time

This is an exciting opportunity to join Active Oxfordshire in a senior management position, working with a fantastic team and multiple partners across the county. The role is indicative of the growth of Active Oxfordshire and the strategic relevance of physical activity in Oxfordshire, especially for children and young people. 

About the role:

Too few children in Oxfordshire get the opportunity to be active. We work with partners to tackle inequalities so that every child and young person in the county can have the best possible active start in life. 

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team at Active Oxfordshire, the successful candidate will lead the development and growth of our Healthy Active Children strategic work, build relationships with partners, line manage two members of the team and ensure our Healthy Active Children programmes of work complement each other.

About you:

 You will have experience in identifying strategic opportunities and the ability to develop and nurture relationships at a senior level in partner organisations.
As an experienced line manager, you will be able to bring people together around a specific agenda and create a sense of energy and purpose. 
You will have experience in managing budgets and identifying clear priorities to manage an interconnected workload.
A strong enthusiasm for our cause is a must, as well as the ability to articulate a compelling case for why physical activity is important for children and young people 

What we offer:

This is a fixed-term contract, initially for 18 months.  The role is a part-time position, working 3 days / 22.5 hours per week.
You will receive a salary of £27,810 (based on a 22.5 hour week, which is a full-time equivalent salary of £46,350) and benefits including a generous 10% contributory pension scheme, Cycle to Work scheme, 38 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays (pro rata) and our new bespoke Employee Support and Wellbeing Programme. 
Hybrid working is available, which means typically one day a week is in the office (Monday) with the rest of the week working remotely from home, within the community or with partner organisations.

Active Oxfordshire welcomes applications from all sections of the community and actively encourages diversity within our team to maximise achievements, creativity and good practice. We know that people from certain backgrounds can be hugely under-represented in our sectors, and we want to change this. We are therefore genuinely keen, and particularly interested to receive applications from people from diverse ethnic communities, from disabled people, neurodivergent people, people who identify as LGBTQIA+ and people with experience of facing barriers to physical activity. 

We want all candidates to have an equal chance to shine in this process – please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make sure the application process works for you (Further contact details can be found in the job pack). 

How to apply: 

Please refer to the job pack for further information on how to apply and closing dates. 

Please note a satisfactory Enhanced DBS check will be required for this role. 

By applying for this role, you are stating that you are eligible to work in the UK. Active Oxfordshire is unable to apply for a Certificate of Sponsorship for this role. 

We are a registered charity and part of a network of 43 Active Partnerships. We work alongside partners and local communities to break down barriers to physical activity.   Through our various programmes and partnerships, more children and young people in the county are able to learn to swim, ride a bike and enjoy being active together with their families. Our Move Together programme supports hundreds of people with long-term health conditions to move more, reduce loneliness and improve their health and wellbeing. With the cost-of-living crisis causing significant concern to our most vulnerable residents, our work is more important than ever. 

Our purpose is to empower communities, unify partners and challenge Oxfordshire’s extreme health inequalities, with the overall outcome of significantly increasing activity levels to transform health and wellbeing. We do this by working with local partners across multiple sectors and national organizations including Sport England, with whom we have agreed a 5-year funding package as a system partner.

Pre-Covid-19, Oxfordshire had one of the highest activity levels in the country but despite this, nearly 100,000 adults were doing less than 30 mins of physical activity per week while only just over half of our young people were active enough to meet the Chief Medical Officer’s guidelines. The situation has got worse as a result of widening health inequalities, which means that thousands of vulnerable residents are missing out on the opportunities they deserve to live an active life. 

Our recruitment principles

Underpinning all of our recruitment are the following 9 principles: 

1) Successful applications will never be contingent on a driving license or access to a car.  25% of our current team do not drive and this has no impact on their capability to do their job.
2) Online interviews will always be available where that supports the accessibility of the process.   
3) Salary transparency – we will always advertise the salary of a role, including whether it is negotiable.
4) Regular language - we try to remove jargon and industry specific language as much as possible. If anything in the below does not make sense, then please challenge us on this.   
5) Applications are redacted to remove certain information, so that potential unconscious biases are reduced.   
6) Candidates will always be sent any interviews questions or tasks in advance. 
7)  Candidates can also bring notes to interviews. We would much rather you remember all of your great examples and tell us about them, than remember on the way home.   
8) We will not ask for a Degree unless it is absolutely the only way that someone can become qualified or experienced to carry out a specific role. Undergraduate Degree admissions are heavily dominated by White British students (e.g. 72.6% in 2019-2020 academic year) and by specifying a Degree as a requirement we narrow the opportunities of talented people who are part of the global majority.   
9) We will never try to catch people out or make their life difficult in our recruitment processes but instead will be doing everything possible to create the conditions where people can celebrate and demonstrate their talents.
10) Candidates will be encouraged to dress comfortably for interview. Our panel won’t be dressed in business attire and we very seldom would be in the course of our work.
