Area Manager Jobs in Belfast
The award-winning Black Swimming Association is recruiting a CEO to lead its close knit, passionate team into its fifth year of establishment.
In 2019, four cofounders came together in an attempt to make a difference. Nearly five years on, our small and dedicated team are committed to changing the narrative. What's our why? Through research and insights and programme delivery, we work to raise awareness of water safety and drowning prevention, in particular amongst African, Caribbean and Asian communities across the UK. By amplifying the voices and experiences of ethnically diverse and other marginalised communities, we aim to challenge the status quo and dismantle the barriers that prevent individuals from fully participating in and benefiting from aquatics.
Why do we want to hear from you? The BSA Group has been growing from strength to strength and is looking for an experienced leader to take us into this new chapter. The BSA group consists of the award-winning Black Swimming Association (charity) and Inclusive Aquatics (C.I.C) and the CEO role will contribute to the work of both the charity and the C.I.C.
If you're ready to make a difference to communities across the UK and be part of something truly impactful and inspiring, this is the job for you. A corporate title without the corporate faff.

Disabled people face significant inequalities in education, sport, leisure and employment. They often face multiple barriers to fulfilling their potential and achieving their aspirations. Sport and physical activity have the power to inspire, enable, build self-esteem, and provide success. They can improve physical health, employability, mental well-being and social community inclusion. However, many barriers prevent disabled people from accessing sport. These include a lack of coaching, clubs, transport, equipment and support networks, as well as high costs and negative perceptions of disabled people participating in sport.
We are a fairly new charity established in 2021, with big ambitions for the future. We have started with small but meaningful projects. We are reaching out to disabled people, learning from our projects, and focusing on our vision and purpose.
We are now looking for someone to join our small but mighty team as our Project Officer. This is a new role, and is crucial to the development of the charity over the next few years. You will set up and deliver new projects to enable disabled people to get active and access sporting opportunities. To do this you will develop relationships with partners, funders and the disability community. This role has the potential for growth and development. You will have a huge influence in shaping our project delivery so that we can continue supporting disabled people to achieve their ambitions through sport.
As a user led organisation, we are keen to receive applications from disabled people.
About the Richard Whitehead Foundation
The Richard Whitehead Foundation is a small charity with big aspirations to use the power of sport for the benefit of disabled people. We believe in the impact of sport: the increased mental well-being, the confidence, the self-esteem, the social inclusion and employability which can come from it. We want disabled people to be able to thrive and benefit from all the opportunities that sport provides.
Our vision: Enabling disabled people’s ambitions.
Our purpose: We believe disabled people should have access to the life-changing power of sport.
Our mission: We place the individual at the centre of our work. We provide access to life-changing support, mentoring, information, advice, equipment, and opportunities that will spark a sustained lifetime intervention.
Our values: Person Centred Dynamic Powerful Authentic Inclusive
Main purpose of this role
Our mentoring work provides a person-centred approach, supporting disabled people to access the life-changing power of movement and sport. We train mentors (who are mostly disabled) and match them with disabled people who face multiple barriers and are likely to remain inactive without intervention. They work together to break down these barriers and connect with local sports clubs and initiatives. We delivered our first mentoring programme in Nottingham and are now looking to expand the programme across the East Midlands and other areas in England and Wales. Alongside this we want to expand our already established Supported Runner Programme to enable disabled people to participate in shorter community runs, and to adapt the model to support disabled people into other sports.
We are looking for a proactive, confident and dynamic individual to help us set up and deliver new mentoring and supported sports projects to enable disabled people to get involved in physical activity in their communities. You will join our small creative and supportive team within an empowering, values-led organisation that is person-centred and ambitious to empower disabled people.
We are looking for someone with significant experience of delivering projects at a community level, recruiting and supporting volunteers and project beneficiaries. You will be able to work independently, take initiative and achieve results. You will keep up to date with developments in the disability and sports sectors in order to inform the development or our projects and ensure we are seeking opportunities for partnerships and funding. You will work confidently with a wide range of individuals and stakeholder groups, including disabled people, volunteers, community groups, disability organisations and local services.

Background
Consumers International is the only global membership organisation bringing together over 200 member organisations in more than 100 countries to empower and champion the rights of all consumers for a fair, safe and sustainable marketplace.
We work with our members and partners, across national borders to address critical, systemic global issues that impact and involve consumers. We deliver innovative, collaborative and impactful programmes across our Change Agenda areas of energy, finance, mobility, digital rights, internet of things, artificial intelligence (AI), product safety, food, sustainable consumption and more. Representing and empowering people, we are the independent consumer voice in international policy-making forums and the global marketplace to shape a world where everyone has access to safe and sustainable products and services. Our work contributes to a better future by building consumer protection, engagement and empowerment globally.
Our work in clean energy futures
Within the Clean Energy Futures work programme, our vision is for a world in which consumers everywhere enjoy access to the benefits of an increasingly clean, decentralised and interconnected energy system. You can explore our past achievements in promoting consumer interest in clean energy on our website, here: Clean Energy Futures - Consumers International.
Our energy work is directed by our Consumer Power strategy, which guides our focus on putting people at the centre of a fast, fair & accountable energy transition under four pillars of action: securing energy consumer rights; sharing the benefits of a fair and affordable transition; empowering prosumers; and amplifying consumer voice in energy policy. Most recently, we have begun super-charging the consumer opportunities created by the transition and emerging energy-related technologies, using a new approach of working with a broader network of stakeholders, including businesses, to deliver positive change for consumers around the world.
Purpose of the role
The overall purpose of this role is to support the Lead for Consumers in the Energy System, in delivering research, analysis and global advocacy on the topic of clean energy futures and generally contributing to building our impact under our Consumer Power strategy. The Coordinator will focus on supporting implementation of a variety of new projects, for example:
- Through our “Exploring Energy Consumer Voice in the Clean Energy Transition” project, we are collecting and analysing examples of successful consumer voice campaigns and will showcase action by consumer organizations across multiple countries to drive forward the clean energy transition. This work aims to empower consumer representatives with a strong voice in clean energy transition dialogue.
- In our “Blueprint for Inclusive Energy Services” project, we are working with businesses to explore energy consumer vulnerabilities and develop innovative, tailored services that can assist most vulnerable customers to access and afford the energy they need to support their wellbeing.
This is a varied role that will involve collaborating across Consumers International’s teams and working with external partners to support project management and assist with research, report writing and stakeholder engagement. The role will include supporting the Lead with direct communication to external stakeholders such as businesses, governments, subject matter experts and wider civil society, and working with our Member Engagement Lead to liaise with our consumer advocacy group Members.
Key Responsibilities
- Co-ordinate the implementation of clean energy futures projects. This will include managing the project plans and signalling the timelines for project deliverables, as well as assisting with engagement with a wide group of project partners to gather their inputs and feedback and keep them updated on project progress.
- Support the Lead in conducting research and analysis to support the development of proposals, reports and events relating to clean energy for consumers.
- Work with Consumers International’s members and partners to gather examples and insights to inform the development of our analysis and outputs, in particular for the “Exploring Energy Consumer Voice in the Clean Energy Transition” project, and on clean energy futures more broadly.
- Draft, provide input to, and disseminate communications (e.g. meeting minutes, research reports, topic briefings) to project stakeholders, ensuring accurate, timely and appropriate communications.
- Support organisation of in-person and online stakeholder workshops or meetings including supporting the development of agendas, invite lists and online and in-person logistical arrangements such as coordinating travel for staff and speakers and delegates attending the events. This may include both project-related meetings and representation at other events and high-level global moments such as COP30.
- Contribute your thoughts and ideas to development and delivery of the clean energy futures work programme and strategy.
- Support the communication of activities and decisions internally on clean energy futures so that all staff are informed and engaged in our work.

Why this role is important – and why you’ll make a difference doing it:
HOPE not hate is the UK’s leading anti-fascist organisation. Our mission is simple – to monitor and challenge the far right, to engage in the communities that are susceptible to them and to address the issues and policies which give rise to them.
Our team includes researchers, educators, community activists and policy experts, as well as specialists with inside access to far right groups.
As a Content Officer, you’ll play a critical role in driving our digital engagement. By creating compelling content for our social media, website and email programmes, you’ll help us attract, inspire, and mobilise more people to stand against hate.
Your role will include:
-
Content Creation: Write, design, and produce engaging content, including social media posts, emails, website copy and more. Use tools like Canva, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and CapCut to create graphics and videos from new and existing footage.
-
Digital Campaigns: Work with the Digital Lead to plan and execute creative campaigns that inspire action and raise funds.
-
Audience Engagement: Build and manage our presence on Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, X, and BlueSky, and engage with supporters through other platforms. Act as the first point of contact for supporters, responding to messages and comments and managing replies.
-
Performance Monitoring: Run tests on content across platforms, analyse results, and use insights to refine and improve our engagement strategies.

Essential
-
1+ year of experience in digital work for a campaign, charity, or political organisation.
-
Creativity and strong ideas for engaging content.
-
Experience in copywriting, graphic design, and video production and tools like Canva, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and CapCut.
-
Strong organisational skills, and ability to prioritise effectively.
Desirable:
-
Knowledge and experience in the areas we work on would be an advantage – tackling the far right; building community resilience against hate, division and oppression; and campaigning against policies that fuel hate.
-
Experience using tools like Engaging Networks or WordPress.
We are looking for someone with the emotional resilience to work in a field that involves challenging content, good political judgement and awareness and the ability to work under pressure and reduced timescales.
We believe that our work will be at its best if it is created by people with a range of backgrounds and experiences. We are keen to interview people who will add diversity to our team. We are an antifascist organisation, which strives to be an effective ally in the wider fight against racism and inequity.
