You don’t need to tick every box; if you care about making a difference, we want to hear from you.
Ever looked at the way healthcare works and thought, this isn’t reaching the people who need it most? Or felt frustrated that the same barriers keep showing up, even though we know what would help?
This role is about changing that.
We’re looking for someone who wants to challenge the way things are done, not for the sake of it, but because the system isn’t working for too many people. You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you do need to believe that physical activity should be a standard part of healthcare, especially for people who face the biggest barriers.
Your job will be to work alongside decision-makers to push for better, fairer systems. You’ll use evidence and real-world insights to show what’s possible and work closely with our Health Inequalities Officer – Community to make sure lived experience leads to real change.
If you care about making an impact, if you’re the kind of person who sees a problem and wants to fix it rather than accept it, we’d love to hear from you.

- Acting as a critical friend to health systems, constructively challenging practices. Advocating for policy changes informed by robust evidence and lived experience.

You don’t need to tick every box—if you care about making a difference, we want to hear from you.
Have you ever seen a well-meaning health initiative fall flat because it didn’t actually work for the people it was meant to help? Or felt like decisions about community health were being made without listening to the people who’d be most affected?
This role is about changing that.
We’re looking for someone who can build trust with communities, listen deeply, and work alongside people to create real solutions, not just ones that look good on paper. You’ll spend time in community health spaces, speaking with those whose voices are often overlooked, and finding ways to make physical activity a meaningful part of their health and wellbeing.
You don’t need to be an expert in policy or health systems, but you do need to care about making sure people’s experiences shape real change. The insights you gather won’t just inform local projects; they’ll influence decision-makers and help shift how the system supports communities.
If you’re passionate about working alongside people to break down barriers, if you see a problem and want to roll up your sleeves rather than wait for someone else to fix it, we’d love to hear from you.
Role Outcomes
1. Community-driven insights shape system and policy improvements.
2. Underrepresented groups have increased opportunities to engage in physical activity as part of health pathways.
3. Communities experience inclusive, co-designed solutions to support their physical and mental health.
4. The voices of underserved populations are amplified and recognised in decision-making forums.
5. Health teams in community settings are more responsive to local needs and use physical activity as a tool to support their patients.
What does this mean day to day?
All of your duties will be directly linked to the outcomes above, where you will have plenty of freedom to achieve these.
Your tasks could include:
- Building relationships with community health teams, PCNs, social prescribers, and local communities.
- Collecting and reporting on community insights to inform system and policy work.
- Co-designing and testing innovative approaches to integrating physical activity into health interventions with community members.
- Amplifying community voices through storytelling and advocacy.
- Providing feedback to the Health Inequalities Officer – System to ensure our approach with healthcare is aligned with community needs.
How we value you -
- Generous Health & Wellbeing Cash plan - including access to a virtual GP any day anytime, cash back towards the cost of everyday healthcare expenses like dental check-ups, eye tests, and physiotherapy sessions. Discounts to gym memberships and retail discounts such as cinema tickets and your weekly shop.
- Generous annual leave allowance: 27.5 days upon commencement of employment plus bank holidays. This rises by an additional 1 day of leave per year after 2 years of continuous employment, up to an additional 5 days leave in total. (Pro rata for part time staff)
- Three concessionary days leave over Christmas and New Year (pro rata for part time staff)
- Death in service scheme up to the value of three times actual salary
- Volunteer day to spend either as a team or individual helping out with an organisation or cause you select

About London Youth
We are London Youth: a charity on a mission to support the capital’s youth sector to improve the lives of young people. We do this with and through our members – a network of 600 youth organisations – and at our two outdoor residential centres, Hindleap Warren and Woodrow High House.
Throughout our 135-year history, community youth organisations have provided a constant lifeline and a vital safe space outside the family and formal education, where young people can develop confidence, resilience and skills. Young people need opportunities outside school to have fun with their friends, to make a positive change in their communities and to shape the city they live in.
We look to work with all young people, focusing particularly on those who wouldn’t otherwise have access to the kind of opportunities we offer.
In 2022-2023, we worked with 571 member youth organisations who supported more than 650k+ young Londoners. 24,680 young people took part in our programme events and activities, with 15,000 enjoying activities at our two outdoor learning centres, Woodrow and Hindleap. We supported 1,442 youth professionals at over 164 of our training and network sessions.
