Newport LIVE is looking to recruit a Family Health & Wellbeing Assistant Officer on a fixed term basis until 30th September 2022. This post is essential to continue the programme through to the end of the financial year; whilst exploring potential future extensions of funding or commissioning opportunities that may arise moving forward post September 2022.
Newport Live is a not-for-profit organisation and registered UK Charity, with a great track record delivering sport, physical activity, leisure, arts and cultural services and programmes.
Working within the Newport LIVE Community Sport and Wellbeing Team, the successful applicant will be part of the Families First funded Family Health and Wellbeing team which provides an integrated programme to support children, young people, and their families who are living, or at risk of living, in poverty throughout Newport; helping them to improve their health and to enjoy wellbeing.
Our ethos is to ensure families are supported and encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle. This may be in the form of universal health promotion messages and activities, or through specifically targeted health and wellbeing interventions depending on need. We aim to provide varying levels of support and intervention to families with health needs and inequalities.
Interested candidates will need to have a sound understanding and experience of health and wellbeing agendas; or be able to evidence transferable skills from a Sport and Physical Activity Development role where they have experience and knowledge of project management and working in partnership with external agencies. Applicants must be passionate about working with families within a wellbeing setting.
A key requirement of this role will be to co-ordinate and deliver workshops associated with the promotion of health and wellbeing, both in schools and local communities.
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) and is subject to a successful Disclosing and Barring Service (DBS) check.
