The Active Wellbeing Society is a community benefit society and cooperative working to develop healthy, happy communities living active and connected lives.

Our vision is for a society where people have the autonomy, capacity, resources and skills to become the architects of their own destiny; where our individual wellbeing is recognised as being bound up in our collective responsibility to and dependency on each other; and where all of us feel empowered as agents of social change to make a difference - whether at an individual level or more widely.

By working collaboratively with communities, we aim to bring about sustainable change on an social, environmental and economic level; to do the social knitting required to create stronger and more resilient communities and to support communities to identify, mitigate and remove the barriers that prevent them from living active and connected lives.

You will be working as part of The Active Wellbeing Society’s service delivery team, and you will be based in communities across the city of Birmingham. You will be working closely with the Projects Leads to ensure the delivery of consistent, high-quality programmes for the local community, using community development practices and partnership working.

We are looking for passionate people to join us this summer and support the business with community delivery programmes.

Programmes include:

- Street Activities
- Run & Walking Activities
- Bikes

This is a well rounded job opportunity that will encourage growth and learning via a range of methods. This is a fantastic opportunity for young people to gain valuable experience of working alongside communities. You will gain valuable work skills and receive bespoke employability training to compliment the day to day work you will be involved with.

Main duties

1. Support delivery of face-to-face community activities.

2. Work closely with the Project Leads across the business and colleagues, offering programme development support for activities and other administrative tasks.

3. Support your team with appropriate activities and group sessions in person. Contributing towards creating a safe space for communities to come together.

4. You will need to be comfortable working in all weather conditions and travel across the city is imperative.

5. Being responsive and flexible to the needs of the programme.

2. You may have previous working or volunteering experience and will be comfortable getting involved with a range of different activities
