We are offering an exciting opportunity, with training, for an enthusiastic, self-motivated and innovative person to work alongside our five existing Fieldworkers to build and drive forward community led schemes in North Manchester that can help to support residents in the things that matter to them.
The role will be working on the Winning Hearts and Minds programme for a multi-agency partnership. Winning Hearts and Minds is a trailblazing approach to improving heart and mental health and associated health inequalities in Manchester.
It is a citywide programme with some targeted work focused on North Manchester, where health outcomes are poorest.
The programme embodies the Our Manchester behaviours; a unique collaboration between Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board, Manchester City Council, Manchester Active, and Manchester Local Care Organisation, to enable services, people and communities to work in a different way in order to achieve some ambitious outcomes.
