Women's and Girls Development Officer

Somerset Activity and Sports Partnership (SASP) has an exciting new position to join our team as our Women's and Girls Development Officer.

We want to help Women and Girls to be more active in the ever-changing landscape right now, but also break down those barriers that women and girls face, empower them to move in their own way, remove that self-doubt, and most importantly, to enjoy it!

Working across Somerset, you will lead and deliver the 'In It Together', our programme for women and girls, helping them find ways of getting active that are right for them. The successful post holder will work with community groups, sports clubs, self-employed instructors and workplaces to target opportunities and deliver affordable sports and physical activity opportunities in the right place and time to reduce barriers and increase physical activity levels.

The successful post holder will work in partnership with Somerset Foundation Trust, NHS Somerset and workplaces across Somerset to collaborate around women's health, particularly the areas of the Menopause, Endometriosis and Pelvic Health.

Develop opportunities for girls who are dropping out of sport and physical activity during teenage years and developing deep-rooted negative attitudes towards it, which act as barriers throughout life.

We are looking for someone to join our enthusiastic and passionate team, who ideally can engage with a wide range of women and girls and has experience of planning and delivering activity sessions within a range of different environments, age groups and abilities. They will be passionate about sport and physical activity and have excellent communication skills.
