Jobs

Active Oxfordshire has a highly skilled, forward-thinking and friendly team committed to tackling inactivity and fighting inequality across our county. As well as our core team, we work with a wide range of partners from statutory, voluntary, education and health sectors, alongside our incredible Active Ambassadors to ensure that we are fully inclusive and celebrate the diversity of our community.

We offer excellent rates of pay and annual leave, opportunities for training and development and the chance to be part of a forward-thinking organisation making a real difference to our local community.

1) Successful applications will never be contingent on a driving license or access to a car. 25% of our current team do not drive and this has no impact on their capability to do their job.

2) Online interviews will always be available where that supports the accessibility of the process.

3) Salary transparency – we will always advertise the salary of a role, including whether it is negotiable.

4) Regular language - we try to remove jargon and industry specific language as much as possible. If anything in the below does not make sense, then please challenge us on this.

5) Applications are redacted to remove certain information, so that potential unconscious biases are reduced.

6) Candidates will always be sent any interviews questions or tasks in advance.

7) Candidates can also bring notes to interviews. We would much rather you remember all of your great examples and tell us about them, than remember on the way home.

8) We will not ask for a Degree unless it is absolutely the only way that someone can become qualified or experienced to carry out a specific role. Undergraduate Degree admissions are heavily dominated by White British students (e.g. 72.6% in 2019-2020 academic year) and by specifying a Degree as a requirement we narrow the opportunities of talented people who are part of the global majority.

9) We will never try to catch people out or make their life difficult in our recruitment processes but instead will be doing everything possible to create the conditions where people can celebrate and demonstrate their talents.

10) Candidates will be encouraged to dress comfortably for interview. Our panel won't be dressed in business attire and we very seldom would be in the course of our work

We welcome and actively encourage applications from all sections of the community, and strongly believe that a diverse team is crucial to maximise our creativity, achievements and impact. We are a friendly and welcoming organization, and strive to ensure that everyone who works at Active Oxfordshire can be themselves. 77% of our staff team take advantage of the part time and flexible working policies which are open to everyone. We have a strong focus on equity, diversity and inclusion, whilst fully recognizing that we are on a journey ourselves. We positively seek to ensure we achieve diversity in our workforce and that all job applicants and employees receive equal and fair treatment, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability or nationality
