About Role
The Active Communities Team work with people of all ages & backgrounds to help embed physical activity & sport into people’s daily lives. We work with and support a wide range of partners (both statutory & non-statutory), including charities, community groups and sports clubs, big and small, to get more people active. We also have a wealth of experience in strategically positioning physical activity to enhance health and wellbeing; using physical activity to develop targeted interventions in the prevention and treatment of many long term health conditions.
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and have a passion for increasing participation amongst under-represented and disengaged groups by reducing barriers for those experiencing the greatest inequalities and help to develop the local workforce of coaches & volunteers across the county.
We develop and coordinate referral pathways, such as the Activity on Referral Scheme to support people living with a range of health conditions to lead an active lifestyle and improve health in a safe and supportive environment. We coordinate the Get Up & Go programme, providing over 40 strength and balance classes as part of a countywide Falls Prevention programme.
Through our targeted place-based work, we work in geographical ‘hotspots’ to better understand the ‘people and place’ where persistent inequalities exist by building trust with communities and support them make use of their local assets to provide solutions and drive action from the ground up.
The purpose of this role would be to work across all aspects of the active communities team, both supporting members of Northamptonshire Sport staff & leading on a variety of projects throughout the placement.
