Community connect project lead

Gateshead
Pioneering Care Partnership (PCP)
Posted: 2 August
Offer description

Pioneering Care Partnership (PCP) are working in partnership with Greenwich Leisure Ltd. (GLL) to support the provision of leisure services across Gateshead. GLL is a charitable social enterprise and a workers' cooperative and is recognised as the UK's largest leisure and cultural trust. Under their customer-facing brand Better, they operate over 240 leisure centres, 120 libraries, and 15 children's centres in partnership with over 60 local councils, public agencies and sporting organisations.

They have recently acquired Gateshead Stadium, Heworth Leisure Centre, Blaydon Leisure & Primary Care Centre and Dunston Leisure Centre and will be managing those buildings and associated services on behalf of Gateshead Council.

The post of Community Connect Project Lead will provide a clear link from GLL to the communities of Gateshead and support the Health and Wellbeing Strategy of Gateshead Council. The post holder will be the appointed strategic lead for this project and be accountable for all outcomes within the developing Action Plan.

You will take an asset-based community development approach and integrate with communities to enable a closer connection to GLL facilities and services, specifically Healthwise, where the focus will be on increasing more movement through exercise and physical activity. This means you will listen to communities and work with them to influence services and provision, contributing to reducing health inequalities across the city.

To drive the delivery of the service you will be responsible for the further development of an action plan, key performance indicators and produce timely reports that highlight the progress of the project. Excellent communication skills and local knowledge and a genuine passion for community development are essential in order to engage and work with members of the community, public and key stakeholders.
