You will also contribute towards the training and ongoing delivery of support for volunteers in the Ageing Well and Add To Your Life programmes.
You will need to be an outstanding communicator with excellent presentation and networking skills, demonstrating experience of working in partnership with agencies in health promotion and health related professions as well as experience in project management with associated budgets.
You will be required to have knowledge and understanding of issues around health with a relevant degree or equivalent professional qualification or experience in public health related fields.
