Aspire Channel Swim Event Manager (Maternity Cover)

Every two hours, someone is paralysed by spinal cord injury. Aspire is a national charity providing practical support to ensure all those affected can move from injury to independence.

Aspire is seeking an experienced Event Manager for its flagship Aspire Channel Swim event during a maternity cover period. The Aspire Channel Swim was launched in 1999 and was one of the first mass participation swim events in the UK. The role represents a fantastic opportunity for a marketing and events professional who is passionate about making a difference while showcasing their skills in managing large-scale fundraising events.

We are looking for someone to oversee the planning, execution, and marketing of the event, ensuring smooth delivery and participant engagement. You will have the right skills to create and implement an engaging marketing strategy to drive awareness and participation across the UK, with a focus on digital and social platforms. The successful candidate will be expected to build and manage relationships with key stakeholders, including leisure service providers, JustGiving, and external agencies to enhance event success. Most importantly, they need to motivate participants to engage with the event and become active and enthusiastic fundraisers.

This is a hybrid role, and the frequency of visits to Aspire's offices is negotiable. This as a 21 hour a week role, hours can be split over the week or 3 full days.
