The Role

Are you looking to make a difference? Do you want to be part of an established team that makes a difference and supports people to improve their health and wellbeing?

Be Well Tameside has an exciting opportunity to join the team as a Health Improvement Worker as part of a wider Public Health team.

As a Health Improvement Worker, no two days are the samesome days you will be seeing people on a one-to-one basis, coaching them to make healthy changes, delivering health checks using point of care testing equipment (which can include finger prick blood testing) or stop smoking sessions. Other days you will be engaging with people on a stand at a busy event, facilitating workshops on a range of health-related topics or supporting the population health team in delivering health improvement projects.

We are committed to our ambition that the people of our Borough will stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible. To achieve that, we work in collaboration with people to assist them to improve their health, as well as forming partnerships with professionals and we work together for the community we serve. We respect and embrace the diverse Borough that we work in, and strive to reduce health inequalities by making healthy choices accessible to all. We also trust the individual contributions of each of our team members, and are receptive to innovation. We firmly believe that people have untapped resources within them, that can be unleashed by providing high quality, non-judgemental support.


About you

Here are some of the skills, knowledge and abilities that we are looking for in our newest Health Improvement Workers:

  • Experience in community working (either paid or voluntary), with the ability to travel to venues across the borough to fulfil service delivery (including transportation of equipment).
  • The confidence to facilitate workshops (in person and virtually), and the ability to work on a one to one basis.
  • You need to be reliable, approachable, have excellent presentation / communication skills and a flexible approach to working (occasional evening or weekend working may be required to meet the needs of the service).
  • You must enjoy being part of a team; yet possess the personal management skills to work alone.
  • The ability to use computers to maintain records and enter data on our web-based client management systems.
  • You will need to be highly organised, motivated and resilient.
