Work With Us
Effectiveness Advisory Group – applications welcome
Opportunity description
A Sounding Board was created in 2017 to advise the Trust on the National Standard review and instructor training reform until December 2018. As this development work draws to completion, we are now creating a wider Effectiveness Advisory Group whose members are committed to improving Bikeability standards, quality and impact in 2019 and 2020. Like the Sounding Board, the new Advisory Group will be an important vehicle for the Trust to engage providers and beneficiaries.
We welcome applications from Bikeability providers and beneficiaries who share this commitment and are able to volunteer up to 10 days (including attending four meetings in Cambridge) in 2019 and 2020.
Find out more and apply here by 3 December 2018.

Opportunity description
We are looking to recruit a new trustee to the board with a background in accounting. As well as providing the generic role of a trustee, the trustee will also chair the Finance and Audit Committee and to provide expert advice on finance and compliance.
The role
The Bikeability Trust was established in 2017. It is in the process of taking over all central support for the national cycle training scheme Bikeability. The programme is funded by the government and has been very successful. This transition will be complete by the autumn of 2018.
We have a vacancy for a trustee with expertise in accountancy, the previous trustee having stepped into the role of director of finance and compliance for the trust. You will join a board of seven trustees, with expertise in health, local government, road safety, law, marketing, sport, child psychology. We are also recruiting for a trustee with a background in primary and secondary school education concurrently with the recruitment of this trustee post.

One of the most important tasks for The Bikeability Trust is to make sure that Bikeability achieves the best possible outcomes for the money invested in it.
This is an opportunity to make a real difference to a programme that reaches over 350,000 children a year. The challenge is to get the best possible value for money out of the funding that is dedicated to it.
