Inspire. Motivate. Make a difference.
We are recruiting a Project Officer to join our Employment and Skills team, working across the Wigan Borough.
If you have a keen interest in the health and wellbeing of others, this is a perfect role for you. Working in line with the five ways to wellbeing which are: Connect, Get Active, Take Notice, Learn and Give, this rewarding programme is structured to improve the lives of local people aged 19+ and give them the skills and resilience to thrive in their personal lives once the programme has completed.
Previous experience in working in this area is desirable, but we welcome applicants from all sectors as transferrable skills are highly important to bring new ideas to enhance this programme.
We are looking for someone who will work with local services to provide awareness sessions to participants and plan and deliver engaging sessions that support the 5 ways to wellbeing. You will be required to manage and develop relationships with our existing referral partners and seek new opportunities marketing the programme.
The role will involve recruiting participants from across the borough to join the programme and signposting for relevant support that is required for attendees. During the programme, you will work with adults to develop an individual learning plan to plan for next steps and assist in breaking down barriers to progressions, e.g., tackling loneliness, providing employment advice, and building confidence and resilience.
You will be part of the Employment and Skills department, which delivers team programmes and one-to-one mentoring. The established team regularly meets to share best practices and discuss standardisation of delivery as this programme is a non-accredited adult learning course funded by the Workers Education Association via GMCA.
If you think you’ve got what it takes, then we’d like to hear from you.
