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:
1. Providing access to employment and training
2. Improving mental health
3. Enhancing child development and education
4. Creating health and sustainable places in which to live and work
5. Integrating activity for health improvement, prevention and condition management
6. 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.
The Role
To identify, collect, digest and summarise complex data and insight from a number of sources, and effectively communicate insight and learning to a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to support our place-based expansion work in Gateshead and South Tyneside.
To contribute to the gathering, assessment and reporting of information and learning which will contribute towards improving the planning, delivery and evaluation of sport and physical activity for communities facing inequalities across Gateshead and South Tyneside.
Further Information and How to Apply
Applicants will be interested to know that Rise is currently operating a 4-day working week, with full-time employees 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.
All applications must be submitted to ***********@risenortheast.co.uk using the application form. Please note CVs will not be accepted.
