The Active Wellbeing Society (TAWS) 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.

In this role you will be supporting the Development and Delivery team with street closures and events that bring neighbours and communities together on their own doorsteps through conversation, engagement and physical activity in areas most at need across Birmingham.

We need someone that is willing, confident and friendly and able to speak with people and make referrals where necessary. You will be setting up/closing down the closures, be involved in data collection and team work, and keeping up with the fast pace and changes that often occur.

- Support underrepresented groups to connect with local communities.
- Develop relationships within communities to become a trusted source for development and delivery.
- Work closely with other services to promote activity that is targeted at our audience.

Other Tasks:

- Follow safe working practices and risk assessments in order to achieve a safe and healthy working environment.
- Adhere and be aware of policy relating to equality and diversity issues in service delivery and development.
- Ensure that appropriate safeguarding of children and adults at risk are adhered to.
- Actively promote membership of the Society and inspire local people to get involved, placing members at the heart of the organisation.

**KNOWLEDGE SKILLS & EXPERIENCE**:

- **Ability to engage internal and external organisations (including community groups) to provide pathways of opportunity for active citizenship and community activity.

- Adaptable and able to work at pace, working autonomously and collaboratively in a dynamic and challenging environment.
- Experience of tailoring development and delivery for differing levels of ability.
- Good time keeping & ability to plan & prioritise.
- A genuine passion for the wellbeing of others and a drive to improve the lives of individuals and communities by bringing them together to improve their mental and physical wellbeing.
- A flexible approach to all working practices with the willingness to support other team members in their work as required (including presence at events).
- Excellent communication skills.
- Preferred to hold a UK driving licence (due to business needs a valid UK driving licence is essential for transporting equipment to events)
