The new Community Sport and Health Officer will see the chosen individual support our increasing work across Leeds, helping with our sessions held in local leisure centres and care settings. The role will facilitate inclusive group activities for older people that are both physically and mentally stimulating, as well as games combined with sporting reminiscence.
