We're looking for a motivated Health & Wellbeing Facilitator to join our dedicated team at Age UK Bromley & Greenwich. As a Health & Wellbeing Facilitator, you will play a pivotal role in delivering our Long-Term Health Conditions Programme. This includes leading self-management workshops, organising peer support groups, and empowering clients to make positive lifestyle changes. You'll be a key player in helping individuals build confidence, enhance their health knowledge, and take control of their well-being. Working closely with colleagues and volunteers, you'll connect clients to valuable services, create support networks, and make a tangible difference in their lives.

What You’ll Do:

• Work with the Lifestyle Coordinator to plan and deliver engaging health and well‑being workshops for individuals with ongoing health conditions.
• Facilitate support groups, training and supervising volunteer peer mentors to provide targeted, condition‑specific guidance.
• Collaborate with partner organisations to ensure a smooth referral process for additional services like Befriending, Carer Support, and Handyperson services.
• Provide personalised support through various channels, including face‑to‑face meetings, phone calls, and online communication.
• Help clients develop essential skills, such as managing medication, reducing stress, and communicating with healthcare providers.
• Monitor programme outcomes, maintain accurate client records, and contribute to continuous service improvement.

Qualifications and Skills:

• We're looking for someone with excellent communication skills, a proactive attitude, and a genuine passion for helping others. You should have experience working with individuals who face health challenges and a commitment to promoting independence and well‑being. Knowledge of local resources and services is a plus, as is experience in organising health‑related workshops or programmes.
• Strong communication skills with a track record of supporting individuals facing health challenges.
• A basic understanding of long‑term health conditions and how they impact physical, emotional, and social well‑being.
• Ability to work effectively both as part of a team and independently.
• A flexible and adaptive approach to meet the needs of our clients.

At Age UK Bromley & Greenwich, we are passionate about making later life a time to enjoy. Join a supportive, mission‑driven team where your work is valued and where you'll have the chance to make a real difference in your community. We value equality, respect, and creativity, offering a collaborative and flexible work environment.

What We Offer:

• 27 days of annual leave (pro rata), plus bank holidays.
• Pension scheme with a competitive employer match.
• Hybrid working options considered (after completion of Probation Period) to support work‑life balance.
• Access to the Employee Assistance Programme for mental, financial, and physical well‑being support.
