Details
This is a rare opportunity to join Active Bradford at a truly pivotal moment, as we lead a bold, place-based movement to tackle health inequalities and create a district where being active is part of everyday life. Backed by over £4m of Sport England investment and delivering flagship programmes like JU:MP, Active Bradford is at the forefront of national innovation in physical activity, bringing together partners across health, education, and communities to drive meaningful, lasting change. 

As Finance and Governance Manager, you will play a mission-critical role at the heart of this impact. You’ll bring financial clarity, insight and rigour to decision-making, ensuring every pound delivers value for the communities we serve. Working closely with the CEO, Board and senior leaders, you’ll shape strategy through high-quality financial planning, strengthen governance, and build systems that enable a small, passionate team to focus on what matters most – changing lives through movement. 

This is more than a finance and governance role,  it’s a chance to influence, lead and leave a legacy. With flexibility built in, a values-led culture, and the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of a nationally recognised programme, this role offers both impact and balance in equal measure.
