Location: Home/Community Based (Dewsbury)
In Kirklees we want to be innovative and creative in the way we work to deliver our services with communities.
Investing in relationships with those communities is at the core of what we do.
We want to meet changing and challenging times with better and smarter ways to work.
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the established Integrated Wellness Service for the appointment of an Operational Manager overseeing the Dewsbury locality.
As an Operations Manager you will be responsible for the operational leadership, management, team development and performance of the team(s) assigned to you.
This job is about being part of a flexible team and you will support and, if appropriate lead, Service developments.
You will work collaboratively with a range of partners leading specific agendas as required and build effective relationships with community leaders such as elected members, senior officers, partner agencies and communities to develop and embed the Kirklees Integrated Wellness Model.
Wellness is defined as a proactive, preventive approach that emphasises the whole person and which works to achieve optimum levels of physical, mental, social and emotional health.
This role is part of a team responsible for developing an integrated Health Improvement approach for adults; to help people build their capacity to maintain good health and be independent.
We want to bring together organisations, people and services to develop a shared approach, using a 'strengths based' mind-set that acknowledges, builds upon and unlocks the strengths, skills and capacities of people to live healthy lives utilising the assets within the local community.
We want to build on the existing strengths and assets of people and communities and will support individuals to find solutions to things which determine their health and prevent health conditions developing or worsening.
A relevant qualification or experience of working in a health, social care, educational, or wellbeing/community field would be required.
Should you wish to book a call for an informal discussion about the role, please email wellness.service@kirklees.gov.uk or call 01484 234095
Interviews are expected to take place on the 17th and 18th of June at Dewsbury Town Hall.
