ChesterleStreet, United Kingdom Sustrans Full time

Project Officer 

England North

£28,831 per annum (pro rata for part time hours)

 (Ref: SUS4338)

Full Time 37.5 hours per week – happy to talk flexible working

Fixed term contract until 31st October 2025

Base: Birtley Active Travel Hub (at Birtley Library) and activity locations around Gateshead.

 

About the role

In partnership with Gateshead Council, Sustrans is opening an Active Travel Hub at Birtley Library. This is an exciting opportunity to join Sustrans and support people in Gateshead to walk, cycle, and wheel, by providing practical, impactful support.

As the Project Delivery Officer, you will coordinate and deliver a programme of work tailored around overcoming identified barriers to active and sustainable travel modes, including a series of practical engagement activities, with the support of 2 Project Support Officers and a network of volunteers.

You will build and manage internal and external relationships with diverse groups and people within our partner organisations. Additionally, you will ensure monitoring and reporting tasks are carried out, with particular respect to partner and funder requirements.

This role will require travel and work at locations as necessary to undertake projects on behalf of Sustrans.

Candidates should be based within the geographical area with regular travel expected to a nominated hub/office base in Birtley, Gateshead.

 

About you

You should have experience delivering behaviour change projects and/or activities, and delivering projects in a community setting with a range of partners. Experience working in public-facing roles and with volunteers is key – this role will be responsible for recruiting, managing, and developing Sustrans volunteers, in collaboration with the Project Coordinator and Sustrans volunteer programme staff. You should have some experience of managing budgets, producing reports, and carrying out monitoring activities. Knowledge of effective engagement and behaviour change initiatives is key, and you should be able to apply this knowledge to develop and deliver effective cycling, walking, and wheeling initiatives.

You should be able to build strong working relationships, enthuse others, and have the ability to communicate and collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders. You should also be able to work independently when necessary, planning and prioritising your own workload with limited supervision. 

There are lots of opportunities for learning and development within this role, so we ask that you are willing to learn, with a specific commitment to work towards becoming qualified in the following areas with Sustrans: 

  • Cycle leader and walk leader
  • First aid
  • Cycle maintenance

Previous experience with cycle maintenance and cycling is desireable but not required.  However there is an expectation that you will work quickly to develop these skills with Sustrans courses and resources once appointed. 

Sustrans has a long-term commitment to being a charity for everyone - reducing inequality, valuing diversity, enabling inclusion and ensuring all people are treated with dignity and respect. We aim to be a truly inclusive employer and welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, in particular from under-represented groups.

  • Ability to buy an extra week of annual leave (pro-rata for part-time staff)
