As a Wellbeing Advisor
As a Wellbeing Advisor, you'll work alongside adults across West Northamptonshire, helping them improve their health, wellbeing and independence. You'll support people facing a wide range of challenges, building trusted relationships and helping them take practical steps towards positive change.
This is a varied role that combines one-to-one support, community outreach and partnership working. You could be helping someone access local activities and services, supporting them to improve their physical or mental wellbeing, or helping them navigate services when life feels overwhelming.
You'll be joining a large, supportive team of Wellbeing Advisors, Coordinators and Team Leaders who are passionate about helping people thrive. Everyone brings something different to the team, and that's exactly how we like it.
This particular vacancy sits within our rural team, so you'll spend time working across communities including Daventry, Towcester and surrounding areas, with regular face-to-face clinics and community-based work.
Interview will be held week commencing 21st September.
