Health and Wellbeing Coach (Inspire Together)
Thank you for expressing an interest in this key vacancy as part of the Inspire Together team based at our college. Over the last six years we have been on a journey to try and make this school not only one of the best schools for children to attend but also one of the best schools to work in as a member of staff. That is extremely rare, and we urge you to come and see us in action, speak to the staff and speak to the students. Every decision that we take is done with a lot of thought and consideration and we put wellbeing at the centre, so that teachers can teach, and students can learn.
Inspire Together are an innovative, not-for-profit organisation who have developed a network of schools and partner organisations to improve the health and wellbeing of young people. We work across six key strands to strive towards our vision: ‘Every young person enjoys being active so they have the long-term benefits of a healthy, happy lifestyle’.
Inspire Together’s health & wellbeing strand of work provides vital, targeted intervention programmes in partnership with Leicester City Public Health to close the gap on inequalities in Leicester, supporting the most vulnerable young people in the city. Our Health & Wellbeing coaches play a vital role representing the organisation in our schools and communities, working with young people who face many barriers to a healthy lifestyle. Our programmes need to be delivered in an inspirational, supportive way which above all children find fun and engaging to bring the best out of them and to help them to find enjoyment in movement to support activity for life.
We have a very different approach and we are trying to create a very different culture at CHCC and Inspire Together, a culture whereby those in leadership do not hold authority and deserve to be followed; leaders at CHCC have to earn the right to lead and we welcome and appreciate challenge if we do not live up to the standards that are expected of us.
The THIRST values permeate all that we do and are a framework that staff can hold leaders to account for the way that they lead. We have high expectations, but we will provide the support, training and resources for you to deliver the best possible education for our students.
As a result, we have improved our headline figures year on year and initial analysis places us in the top 12% of schools nationally for progress, although we know that we can still do better.
