Salary
£29,536 – £34,079 (per annum)
The role is 1.0 FTE and is for an initial fixed term until 31 March 2027, however, it may be extended subject to future funding.
Hours
37 hours (30 hours during a 4-day working week)
Applicants will be interested to know that Rise is currently operating a 4-day working week. Full time employees are gifted one day off per week (Fridays), but still paid a full-time salary. This reduces the working hours from 37 to 30 per week, but is not a contractual entitlement. Trials have shown that a 4-day working week can reduce stress and burnout, as well as levels of anxiety, fatigue and sleep issues, but productivity levels are elevated.
Location / Flexible Working
We’d like to see you once a week in our North Tyneside office, but can be flexible in busy delivery periods.
We are open to talking about flexible working options and could consider options as diverse as job sharing and annualised hours, such as term-time only.
About Rise
Rise is a leading health and wellbeing charity and we are passionate about the role that physical activity can play in making a difference to the communities that need it most.
Our team of friendly experts work closely with regional partners across health, education, transport and more to show how physical activity can tackle inequalities and help solve some of the biggest issues affecting our communities.
Rise plays a key role in:
Providing access to employment and training
Improving mental health
Enhancing child development and education
Creating health and sustainable places in which to live and work
Integrating activity for health improvement, prevention and condition management
Support the health and wellbeing of the workforce
We also advocate for policy change, share best practice and provide insight, guidance, and support. Our population in the North East of England lives with significant social, economic, and environmental inequalities. We know that physically inactive populations are often the most marginalised and most likely to be adversity affected by inequalities.
Our Values
Our values are the foundation of how we act individually and collectively as the Rise team. We will
Catalyse Change – We believe that change is possible and we are ready to lead the exploration
Positively Disrupt – To challenge the norm and cause radical change through innovation and learning
Collaborate – Together we are greater than the sum of our parts. People make the change.
