Role Purpose: You will be the Partnerships & Engagement Lead, covering Healthy Lifestyles Gloucestershire. You will be expected to engage with various operational and strategic stakeholders at place and system level to ensure true system integration across all service elements. You will support the Head of Service to develop and maintain effective referral pathways into the service and build long-lasting relationships with system partners from a range of sectors, including but not limited to primary and secondary care, CVS, place-based partnerships, local authorities and the ICB. Your primary focus is to build system-wide support to improve the health and wellbeing of Gloucestershire residents.
Another key aspect of this role is to increase referrals through system engagement and training for professionals. You will be responsible for developing and implementing the service engagement strategy on an ongoing basis and producing a quarterly impact report to submit to public health commissioners. You will be a motivated, passionate, organised and proactive communicator with experience working in a community setting. ABL takes a strengths-focused, asset-based approach to community delivery, looking to innovate and partner with, not replicate, existing delivery.
The role will require dynamic working that embraces the vision and values we wish to establish for the service to support people in achieving healthy lives.
