VACANCY – JOIN OUR TEAM

Role: Inclusive Programmes and Impact Manager

Partnership role with British Rowing

Love Rowing is the Charitable Foundation of British Rowing. British Rowing is the national governing body for the sport of rowing in England, responsible for promoting and developing the sport at all levels, from grassroots to high-performance.

Love Rowing has a clear mission – to transform lives through increasing access to the sport of rowing and its inherent benefits. Love Rowing raises funds for rowing programmes across the UK. Its projects bring more disabled people and more young people from deprived areas of the UK into the sport. So far Love Rowing has supported 80 projects and over 12,000 beneficiaries.

Significant new funding for Love Rowing has recently been confirmed by The Westminster Foundation titled “Rowing to Success”. This exciting new project, based in Chester, now requires Love Rowing to grow its project management and impact management capability. This is an exciting moment and the first step in ambitious plans to scale over the next five years.

Love Rowing and British Rowing are supporting inclusive and accessible projects with increasing success. The purpose of the role is to lead all project and impact management for ongoing Love Rowing, and support British Rowing to measure the impact of their funded projects and interventions. A key part of this is monitoring, evaluation, assessing impact and learning from and across the inclusive and accessible rowing projects.

Applications close: 21/10/25 12 noon.
