RedbridgeCVS is the local umbrella body for the voluntary and community sector (VCS) in Redbridge. We are a small, friendly team based in central Ilford - just 20 minutes by train from Liverpool Street station. Every year we support over 350 local voluntary and community groups, helping them to flourish and make a difference in their communities.

We are looking for someone with a passion for health and wellbeing and the ability to build strong and impactful partnerships to join the team as our new Health and Communities Project Manager.

Our health promotion and improvement work is rooted in the principles of collaboration and co-design. We believe that people should be empowered to take agency and ownership of their own health and wellbeing, and value the insights, experiences, skills and connections in individuals and communities.

As Health and Communities Project Manager you will lead on the development and delivery of health promotion initiatives to improve outcomes for disproportionately affected communities and communities at greatest risk. You will work across a range of local health priorities with a current focus on HIV, TB and vaccination uptake.

You will oversee the work of our Health and Wellbeing Buddies, a team of local people who are employed and supported by RedbridgeCVS to connect residents and communities with local services, and to help them to make informed choices about their health and wellbeing. You will also work closely and collaboratively with partner organisations to ensure that the team’s expertise and the insights they gather are shared to support local health planning and service development.

The successful candidate will be highly organised with a reflective approach and a strong commitment to continuous learning and improvement. You will bring previous experience of community development and co-production in practice, and be passionate about improving health and wellbeing and tackling health inequalities through empowering communities.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!
