Are you a committed well-being advocate? Are you passionate about the benefits of a healthy workplace?  Do you have what it takes to champion and co-ordinate the council’s approach to employee well-being? 

This exciting role is an important part of the council’s COVID recovery plans, with an emphasis on reviewing the effectiveness of our current approach and leading a programme of change to have a positive impact on our employee well-being.

North Somerset Council is designing a Healthy Workplace Awards Scheme, and this post provides a new opportunity to lead in the promotion of a healthy workplace for our own employees. 

If you have a robust understanding of well-being and the wide range of benefits that come from a healthy workplace, we would like to hear from you.  As an experienced professional you will be able to have an immediate impact on the council’s approach to its well-being support for its employees, as well as develop approaches that will have a long-term impact on the organisation.

• Completing a well-being audit in line with recognised well-being standards.
• Designing and implementing a well-being policy and action plan.
• Providing technical advice and guidance to a wide range of stakeholders; including strategic leaders, managers and employees.
• Leading and influencing change programmes.
• Supporting individuals and teams where complex or persistent well-being challenges are presented.
• Analysing the benefits and results of well-being interventions.
• Managing a small team.

In return, you’ll be part of a busy, professional and committed team based in Corporate Services in a role that works closely across all directorates of the council.
