COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FIELDWORKER ROLE
Do you know north Manchester? And we mean, do you really know north Manchester? Do you want to help local residents to improve their communities and improve their health and wellbeing?
Can you:
- Actively engage with the local community?
- Collaborate with local partners?
- Be pro-active in developing resident partnerships?
Do you:
- Strive for a more just and equal society?
- Respect, value, support and promote difference and diversity?
- Have the ability to enable community empowerment?
- Promote the active participation of people within communities?
- Create and encourage opportunities for collective learning?
We are offering an exciting opportunity, with training, for an enthusiastic, self-motivated and innovative person to work alongside our seven 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 & Minds programme for a multi-agency partnership. Winning Hearts and Minds is a new 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 Manchester Health & Care Commissioning, Manchester City Council and Manchester Active, with Manchester Local Care Organisation as a critical delivery partner, to enable services, people and communities to work in a different way in order to achieve some ambitious outcomes. Most importantly, the Winning Hearts and Minds approach empowers people, communities and service providers in neighbourhoods to take ownership and make changes for themselves.
In the spirit of partnership that the programme represents, the individual appointed to the role of Community Development Fieldworker will be employed by Manchester Active, but will be located with the North Neighbourhood Team at Manchester City Council to ensure a strong connection with our communities in north Manchester.
