The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) is the only community wealth building charity dedicated to the regeneration of Britain’s coalfield communities. For over 25 years, the CRT has worked with communities to deliver a breadth of projects creating opportunities for people, strengthening the role of community organisations and identifying place based solutions responsive to the challenges still experienced in former coalmining towns and villages. To support delivery, the CRT has developed an innovative community wealth-building model generating sustainable income to deliver both social and economic value. Enabled by engaging key stakeholders, partners and, most importantly the communities, activities delivered are personalised to meet the needs of the people, the organisations and the place. The Development Manager is responsible for leading and developing CRT Game On activity in England, using community-based youth, sport and engagement provision to respond to local need and create positive outcomes for individuals and former coal mining communities. The post holder will take ownership of programme delivery, ensuring activity is safe, effective, compliant and responsive to changing policy priorities and identified local need. The role includes leadership of geographically dispersed staff, management of partnerships and contracts, oversight of monitoring and evaluation, and contribution to programme sustainability and growth. The post holder will build effective relationships across the public, private, voluntary and community sectors, represent CRT appropriately and ensure that delivery complements existing provision and supports CRT’s wider objectives.
