RideWise (formally the Sustainable Travel Collective Ltd) has been transforming the way people travel across the East Midlands for over twenty years. With affordable, accessible and green travel at the heart of our work, we help more than 20,000 people every year to cycle and walk, cutting their carbon footprints and overcoming isolation. In total, more than a million people have gained the skills, confidence and encouragement to choose greener journeys thanks to our courses, community projects, affordable cycle sales and advocacy.
To continue this ambitious growth, we are recruiting a Deputy Chief Executive to work closely with our Chief Executive and Board.

You will deputise for the CEO, shape strategic direction and lead our drive to secure grants and other income streams.

This opportunity is perfect for someone with leadership experience in the voluntary or social enterprise sector, a track record in securing funding and a passion for sustainable transport. You’ll be skilled at writing persuasive grant bids, building relationships and spotting new opportunities. You’ll also have the vision to diversify our income through social enterprise initiatives, corporate partnerships and fundraising events.

Improving the lives and futures of our communities through walking, cycling and active travel



The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Imagine a role where your creativity and collaborative approach help connect supporters to a powerful mission, shifting the dial in the food and farming education sector so more children facing disadvantage can discover their connection with the land that sustains us all.
We’re seeking a skilled communicator and digital storyteller equally comfortable crafting social media posts, drafting briefing notes, or capturing and editing film content. You’ll be passionate about amplifying underrepresented voices and supporting social change through engaging communications that inform, connect and inspire.
You will work closely with colleagues across the organisation to drive engagement, raise our profile, and grow our digital presence through impactful multimedia storytelling. Your work will help bring the voices of children, families and communities to partners and supporters nationwide, placing The Country Trust’s mission at the heart of national conversations about wellbeing, education and tackling the poverty of opportunity.
This role involves travel and occasional overnight stays (with mileage reimbursed) across England and North Wales. While we prioritise public transport use, this is not always feasible. Therefore, a valid driving licence is essential.
Key Responsibilities:
Communications & Influence
- Develop and deliver strategic, multi-channel communications that translate complex ideas into compelling messages to increase our influence across media, policy, and partner networks.
Multimedia Storytelling
- Create and deliver impactful, accessible multimedia content that amplifies beneficiary voices, supports advocacy, and aligns with our brand and strategic goals.
Stakeholder Engagement & Partnerships
- Develop and tailor impactful communications and materials that strengthen partnerships, engage funders, and support collaborative initiatives with partner organisations.
Press, Media & Digital Oversight
- Support on press and social media communications by managing media relationships, crafting timely content, and optimising outreach to amplify our advocacy and campaigns.
About The Country Trust
The Country Trust believes every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet. We are the UK’s leading educational charity on a mission to connect children with the land that sustains us all.
When we don’t understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, or have the chance to spend time outdoors, there’s a significant knock-on effect for our health and the environment. Through nearly 50 years of programme delivery, we know children facing disadvantage often have the most to gain from this connection but are least able to access it.
Through food, farming and countryside experiences, our mission is to empower children to be confident, curious, and create change in their lives and the world around them — so that they and society thrive.
