Want to make a difference to the lives of thousands of Mancunians?
Manchester is a city at the forefront of promoting physical activity, sport, leisure, and health to its people. With a diverse population, the city recognises that physical activity is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and the key to promoting physical activity is to understand the different needs and interests of all. As a result, Manchester continues to lead the way nationally in how sport, leisure, health, and physical activity can be a powerful agent of change for all people.
When it comes to promoting physical activity, we do things differently here in Manchester. We work with a range of organisations to facilitate accessible offers and opportunities for people to be more physically active.

In collaboration with the City Council, we are committed to creating environments that promote physical activity alongside healthy living, collectively supporting policies that encourage positive changes in behaviour.
As part of our continuing expansion, we’re now looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated and hard-working individual with shared values to lead our growing team as Chief Executive Officer.
