York, United Kingdom City of York Council Full time

City of York Council is seeking to appoint a Health Trainer to our Public Health Team, on full time basis.

Regularly voted one of the UK's best places to live and visit, rich in culture and heritage, York is a vibrant modern city still making history.

The capital of Yorkshire, it is visited by 7 million people every year and recognised on a regional, national and international stage. Residents enjoy a high quality of life - there is a real pride in York. People are generous with their time and help one another, particularly the more vulnerable people in our local community. However, there are some significant health inequalities in the city, which we are working closely with partners to improve.

This post offers an exciting and challenging opportunity for a self-motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our established and lively Public Health Team.

The Health Trainer service is responsible for delivering the city’s stop smoking service and one to one lifestyle advice. The service works with individuals to tackle inequalities in health and support people to live healthy and independent lives by targeting resources on individuals and groups in greatest need.

This role will lead on the delivery of a new partnership for the team, working more closely with three Primary Care Networks in the city to embed health trainers in GP practices. They will therefore have dedicated time every week based within York based GP practices, supporting patients who hit certain health and wellbeing criteria in a proactive manner to access onward support, which may include smoking, weight management and diabetes prevention services. This is an exciting opportunity for our team to reach new groups of residents in the city and develop trusted relationships with clinical colleagues.

We would like to hear from you if you are experienced in;
- Working in a clinic / NHS based environment
- Smoking cessation
- Health Promotion
- Increasing physical activity
- Reducing alcohol consumption
- Improving mental wellbeing

Are you prepared to be challenged?

Great people are at the heart of everything we do - we realise that great people provide great services. As an organisation we look for individuals who are motivated, proactive, and passionate about encouraging people to live healthier lives.

Would you like to work as part of a dynamic, fast-paced, knowledgeable team, who work closely with community organisations? Are you enthusiastic and able to motivate others into changing their lives for the better?

If you are up for the challenge to join our team, bring new ideas and creativity and make a difference to the lives of people in York then we want to hear from you

Based in West Offices but delivering services from a range of community and NHS venues across York.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.

This role is suitable as a job share opportunity.

As this role is public facing, applicants will need to demonstrate, at interview, their competency to converse and provide advice and guidance to members of the public, in spoken English to CEFR level C2: Can express him/herself spontaneously at length with a natural conversational flow, avoiding or backtracking around any difficulty so smoothly that the person with whom they are conversing is hardly aware of it.

Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.

Closing date: Wednesday 15 May 2024 at 12 midnight
