The Essex Wellbeing Service, part of Provide Community and funded by Essex County Council, supports residents to reduce loneliness, live independently, stop smoking, improve their lifestyle, and take part in the NHS Health Check Programme.
The role will lead on promoting Making Every Contact Count (MECC) across all partner organisations. This includes helping staff understand MECC, encouraging them to use everyday conversations to support health and wellbeing, and acting as the main point of contact for any questions, support, or training.
You will work with the EWS Single Point of Access Manager on our Care Navigation Partnership to strengthen MECC opportunities by bringing partners together.
You will work in a busy environment with many partners, so strong communication skills, relationship-building, and the ability to manage varied priorities are essential. You must also know the Essex area well, have a driving license, and travel around the county regularly.

- Lead the development and delivery of MECC in Essex.

- Build positive relationships with partners.
- Respond to enquiries via phone, email, virtually, or in person.
