Help us tackle health inequalities in Trafford.
Trafford Leisure has an exciting opportunity for a Head of Health Outcomes to join our Executive Team at a pivotal time of growth and transformation.
In Trafford, too many people are still not active enough to benefit their health.
We see the impact of health inequalities every day through inactivity, long-term health conditions, social isolation and barriers to participation experienced by many of our communities. At Trafford Leisure, we believe this can change.
Through our commitment to Trafford Moving and the Trafford Live Well agenda, we are working with partners across the borough to create opportunities for residents to move more every day and live longer, healthier, happier lives.
We play a leading role in improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities by creating the conditions that help more people move, connect and thrive. Through our ‘Theory of Change’, we focus on reaching those communities who experience the greatest barriers to being active, supporting long-term improvements in physical health, mental wellbeing, social connection and quality of life.
Salary: £53,000 – £58,000 per annum full-time equivalent
Location: Trafford Leisure Support Office, Timperley (Greater Manchester), hybrid
Contract: Part-time (3 days per week)
This is an exciting opportunity to shape and grow Trafford Leisure’s health and wellbeing agenda. Whilst initially appointed on a part-time basis, there is potential for the role to grow in scope and hours over time as additional funding, partnerships and commissioned activity are secured.
About Us:
Trafford Leisure is a community focused leisure operator and Community Interest Company, delivering sport, physical activity and wellbeing services on behalf of Trafford Council. Our purpose is simple and powerful: to inspire and create opportunities for the people of Trafford to move more every day and live longer, healthier, happier lives.
