Summary
Access Sport is looking for a Senior Development Manager to support the operational delivery and continuous development of our youth leadership and youth voice work across the UK.
This role sits at the heart of a growing national programme designed to embed youth voice, co-production and leadership within community sport. Working across multiple regions, you will ensure that young people’s voices are meaningfully embedded in clubs and local systems, and that youth leadership opportunities are delivered consistently and to a high standard.
A key part of this role is turning learning from local delivery into practical tools, training and resources that strengthen practice across the programme.

You will also be the staff lead for our Youth Board and Regional Youth Voice Groups, ensuring young people have structured, supported and meaningful opportunities to influence programme design and delivery.
