Active Travel Hub Project Manager

Who are we? Streetbikes is an ongoing success story. From humble beginnings we now have an ever expanding team of volunteers, staff, and resources so that we have the capacity to truly make a difference to thousands of people, enriching their lives through cycling. Streetbikes was founded in 2009 by a group of like-minded cycling enthusiasts. They began with a project to recycle bikes with the intention of helping underprivileged people in Kirklees. Bikes were donated and refurbished and sold at low cost or given away. A series of programmes were devised to promote cycling among underprivileged groups. Access to adapted and non-adapted bikes in a safe environment was created. A range of cycling activities and events were organised so as to help improve the health and well-being of the local community, and especially to provide access to cycling activities to underprivileged, underrepresented and hard to reach groups. What do we need? We now need an experienced Project Manager who will have full responsibility to manage the charity’s Active Travel Hub WYCAS funded project.
