** About The Daily Mile Foundation
** The Daily Mile was created by one headteacher and her school community as a simple solution to a modern global challenge, and it has become a flagship model for increasing levels of physical activity and supporting children’s health within schools across the UK and globally. The Daily Mile model is simple. 15 minutes of children running, wheeling or walking – at their own pace – outdoors with friends.

It is led by the teacher and takes place during class time. Evidence shows this simple act profoundly improves children’s physical, social and emotional wellbeing, regardless of a child’s age, ability or personal circumstances. With over 21,000 schools across 97 countries registered to participate in the Daily Mile over a 10 year period, the task of building on these strong foundations is an exciting and challenging one.

The charity is UK based with a London headquarters but has a global reach.
** The Role

They will help deliver engaging, impactful marketing and communications across all platforms to strengthen The Daily Mile’s brand and inspire participation aligned to our vision of a world where every child can enjoy the benefits of physical activity.
