2 months ago


Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Newcastle University Full time

**Salary**: £32,348 to £34,308 with progression to £42,155 per annum

Newcastle University is a great place to work, with excellent benefits. We have a generous holiday package; plus the opportunity to buy more, great pension schemes and a number of health and wellbeing initiatives to support you.

**Closing Date**: 26 February 2023

The Role

Do you have a passion for wellbeing? If so, then come join our dedicated Colleague Wellbeing Team and lead on supporting the wellbeing of our University community. Over the last year, our Colleague Wellbeing Team have worked with colleagues to introduce health checks on campus, launched our new colleague wellbeing branding, introduced menopause champions, and co-ordinated a wide-range of wellbeing activities. This is just the start of our exciting journey and we are looking for the right person to come join the team as part of the next phase of development.

Your goal is to ensure that our strategic plan is current and up-to-date with new developments, and that we have an effective communication strategy in place for the agenda. You will lead on the scoping, design, delivery / commissioning and evaluation of a suite of mental and physical health and wellbeing events and activities for colleagues. This opportunity involves working with a range of colleagues in the University and playing a vital role in building knowledge and understanding of mental and physical health and wellbeing issues and support across the University. A measurement of success would be seeing the empowerment of colleagues to embed good practice around health and wellbeing into their daily lives.

Interviews will be held on 10 March 2023.

We would encourage conversations around flexible working and are currently working with a hybrid model of some campus based and some home working.

- Contribute and support any agreed accreditations or charter marks in order to understand and embed good practice in relation to health and wellbeing and other University priorities
- Continuously engage in research with internal stakeholder groups to understand the concerns of colleagues in relation to health and wellbeing with a view to improving our offer
- Work with the University’s EDI Leads and Networks to understand the potential impacts of EDI issues on health and wellbeing and ensure this is integrated into the design and delivery of wellbeing activities, giving particular consideration to how intersectional factors can affect colleague health and wellbeing
