Pioneering Care Partnership (PCP) are working with Northern TUC to support the delivery of the Better Health at Work Award in Primary Care organisations.
The Better Health at Work Award is an award scheme focused on health and wellbeing in the workplace. The partnership is led by nine Local Authorities and co-ordinated by the Northern TUC. The award is free and available to all businesses across the region, who are supported by a dedicated workplace health team & have access to free workplace training, including understanding stress and basic mental health. The award supports workplaces to deliver health activities that address key public health improvement priorities.
This role will have a specific focus within Primary Care settings across the North East and North Cumbria. Many registered Primary Care organisations struggle to allocate time and resource to deliver good quality activities and interventions, as this is often in addition to very busy day-jobs where services are time and patient critical. Currently, the dedicated workplace health team provide support and guidance but cannot offer a ‘hands on’ service or offer any additional resources to lever engagement or delivery.
The provision of a Primary Care Health Trainer adds much-needed capacity to internal delivery and is a practical resource for practices to draw upon with a focus on the delivery of health checks, health and wellbeing clinics, groups and programmes tailored to the needs of primary care.
The post holders will act as an integrated member of a team, demonstrating a flexible approach to working across a dedicated geographical location to ensure the needs of primary care staff are met.
We are looking to appoint someone skilled in:
• Listening, influencing, negotiating and motivating individuals to improve their health
• Communicating and forming trusting relationships
• IT with a range of experience using Microsoft 365
• An ability to act upon own initiative and work independently
If you are passionate about health and wellbeing and want to help people improve their health we’d love to hear from you.
