About You’ve Got This
You’ve Got This is South Tees’ Sport England Place Partnership — a vibrant, community-rooted programme working across Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland to get more people active and help physical activity become a lasting part of everyday life. From Greater Eston to North Ormesby, YGT is building something real and sustainable, and we’re looking for someone to help us grow it.
The Role
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves working with people, thrives in a community setting, and wants their work to have genuine local impact.
As Assistant Programme Officer, you’ll be right at the heart of the programme — supporting the delivery of funded initiatives, leading key workstreams in our Community Focus Areas, and building the partnerships that help activity stick long after the funding ends. You’ll also be the voice of YGT on LinkedIn, help organise events and learning conferences, contribute to our monitoring and evaluation work, and play a hands-on role in sharing everything we learn across the wider partnership.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll be doing
- Supporting the delivery and embedding of physical activity initiatives across South Tees
- Building relationships with community organisations, stakeholders and partners
- Leading assigned workstreams, particularly within our Community Focus Areas
- Managing the YGT LinkedIn account and using digital platforms to celebrate achievements
- Helping organise conferences, workshops and learning events
- Contributing to monitoring, evaluation and case study gathering
- Supporting organisations to sustain activity beyond YGT funding
- Providing day-to-day administrative support to keep the programme running smoothly
What We’re Looking For
You’ll have strong interpersonal skills, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine empathy for the communities we serve. You’ll be someone who takes initiative, solves problems creatively, and brings enthusiasm and openness to everything you do.
