We have an exciting vacancy for a new member of staff to join Transport for All to develop and deliver our consultancy and training offer. The Training and Consultancy Team is transforming, with the focus on designing and delivering impactful training whilst facilitating the financial sustainability of Transport for All.

This is an exciting time to join the team and be part of a new and dynamic training and consultancy provision function. This role is a mixture of new product development and delivering training and consultation; with the weight of the work in the initial 6 months focusing on designing, producing and testing a new range of disability access training materials.

Our work seeks to change the culture of transport and street design in the long term. You need to be an expert in developing new engaging training materials, for online and onsite delivery to a range of clients. Alongside this you will need a strong knowledge of disability equality and the social model, ideally with a focus on the transport and/or planning sector.

Your role will be broken down into 3 main areas, development of new training material, delivery of training, and consultancy. You will be supported by the Head of Research and Training to deliver your key responsibilities.

About us 

Transport for All is the disabled-led group breaking down barriers and transforming the transport system so disabled people can make the journeys we want, with freedom, dignity, ease and confidence. We work with our members to campaign for change, influencing governments, industry and the public. 

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.
