We are looking for a Project Manager to take on the day-to-day running of the Bexley Community Champions scheme. Community Champions are volunteers who began by spreading awareness of the vaccine programme and local support for residents. Today, the programme has grown to include the improvement of health and well-being of local people, their immediate environment, and bringing communities closer together. Community Champions support all sorts of activities, from tackling mental health issues and obesity, to dealing with litter and having a say on health and care issues.
This is an opportunity to be at the centre of an exciting, innovative partnership project, working closely with the NHS and local Public Health teams, taking the scheme into a new phase of development. You will build on the success of the Community Champions project so far and adapt and develop the project as it continues to evolve. You will work with local residents to tackle inequalities, address local issues of concern, and improve health and wellbeing across Bexley. If you are an individual passionate about community development, we would love to hear from you.
Fixed term 10 months - This is a pilot project and therefore has potential to be extended after the initial period
