**About us**

Camden is changing on the inside to make life better for everyone. Because we’re not just home to the UK’s fast-growing economy. We’re home to the most important conversations happening today. And we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.

**The role**

As a Get Active Specialist (GAS) you will work as part of a team delivering a new Get Active Service in Camden and Islington. The Get Active Service is here to empower people to lead healthy and independent lives.

You will be supporting inactive residents referred by their healthcare professional to increase their physical activity levels with the aim of improving physical and mental health. It is expected that many of the referred clients will be living with long term medical conditions. In this role you will engage with referred residents using evidence-based behaviour change techniques.

Behaviour change is the main focus of the role and it involves organising and delivering one-to-one brief interventions with inactive people living with a long-term health condition, using motivational interviewing techniques. It will be important to develop networks with identified referral routes (e.g. GPs, Practice Nurses, Physiotherapists and other health professionals) and build knowledge of, and relationships with, local partners who provide opportunities for physical activity and sport in Camden and Islington.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and will require an Enhanced DBS.

**About you**

You will understand behaviour change and hold a minimum REPS level 3 qualification. You will also have experience of working with inactive people, older adults, people who have long term conditions. You should have knowledge of the principles and best practice of prescribing and signposting specialist physical activity principles to inactive people with long term health conditions. As well as an understanding issues of anti-racism and equity in physical activity and maximising access by groups which are under-represented.

You should have the ability to communicate effectively to a diverse range of service users and with representatives of collaborating organisations. As well as the ability to work as part of a team to help deliver an agreed level of performance, quality and customer care.

You should be able to work on own initiative, and to plan work, meet delivery deadlines, targets and agreed work standards, without supervision. You should be proficient in MS Word, Excel Outlook and other software as required. You should have excellent organisation skills.

**Working for Camden**

We’re ready to welcome your ideas, your views, and your rebellious spirit. **Help us redefine our Supporting Communities, **and we’ll redefine what a career can be. If that sounds good to you, we’d love to talk.
