Pension: 6% employer contribution, 2% employee contribution (minimum)
Hours: 28 hours per week (21 hours will be considered)
Contract Type: Permanent

Line management: Cycle Loan Coordinator

🔵Main Purpose of the Job
You will be part of a team of staff delivering the existing SC4A programme of activity, as well as helping to continue developing our popular cycling activities and other elements of the programme. Whilst there is therefore a lot of cross-over working, this post will lead on the following areas;

• Working with the SC4A Steering Group, alongside the SC4A Project Manager
• Supporting our cyclists to lead on advocacy and campaigning work in the region

But don’t worry, you are part of a wider team and a host of volunteers who directly support the project, and you are also part of a larger organisation, Disability Sheffield.
Some of the work is outdoors and people come to our sessions even if the weather is bad so expect to work in the cold and wet sometimes. We also attend occasional evening meetings which are all part of the role.
