Derby County Community Trust has a clear mission. We harness the power of Derby County Football Club to improve lives and communities through sport, physical activity, health and education. We help more than 25,000 people per year and our work is recognised and respected at regional and national levels. Since 2008 we have been encouraging participation and achievement in sport, improving health and wellbeing, providing and enhancing education and promoting equality and diversity.
We care about our community; we care about our people. We have a rare and exciting opportunity for self-motivated and passionate individual to join our team in the role of Inclusion Manager.
The Inclusion Department delivers a broad range of community, school-based and targeted programmes that use sport, physical activity and early intervention to engage disadvantaged and underrepresented communities.

The Inclusion Manager will lead, manage and develop Derby County Community Trust’s Inclusion Department, ensuring the effective delivery, growth and sustainability of a diverse portfolio of inclusion programmes and services.
You will provide strategic leadership across all inclusion activity, ensuring programmes align with the Trust’s strategic objectives, local priorities and wider city and county strategies.
