Join us on our journey to empower over a million people to change their behaviours and thrive! At Thrive Tribe we deliver award‑winning healthy lifestyle and wellbeing programmes that make people happier and healthier. We’re looking for a Partnership and Engagement Lead to join our Thriving Nottingham service. Our programmes are designed to support individuals and families to improve their health behaviours and make sustainable changes to their lifestyle.

Thriving Nottingham consists of six key services:

• Stop smoking support
• Tailored physical activity programmes

• Health Coaching
• Vape Cessation for Young People
• Digital Inclusion

Residents across the City of Nottingham will be able to benefit from a variety of our established pathways and products, to help residents make lasting healthy lifestyle changes. As Engagement Lead you will manage a team of Community Engagement, Primary and Secondary care coordinators focusing on co‑production and targeted promotion to ensure we meet our ambitious referral targets. During year 2 of the service the team exceeded 10,000 referrals, and we are looking for a Lead to help us double these referral levels.

Like all roles at Thrive Tribe, you can expect your time at work to be fun, varied and challenging. We don’t like to stick to a firm JD as we know from experience that things change throughout the lifetime of a role and it gives our people the chance to play to their strengths.

• This role forms part of the leadership team at Thriving Nottingham, reporting to the Head of Service.
• Leading on strategic partnerships across the city, including NUH, CityCare and PCN partners, spotting opportunities for innovation, development and growth.
• Line‑managing the team who engage with external organisations to build effective partnerships and promotion of Thriving Nottingham, particularly within primary care locations, voluntary and community services.
• Using data to inform next steps for the team – and areas of high focus across the service.
• Leading the marketing and social media function for the organisation.
• Leading and further developing our approach to co‑production within the community, ensuring underserved communities have equitable opportunities to access our service.
• Establishing effective and developing referral relationships with local community and health partners from a variety of settings including GPs, hospital trusts, mental health trust and voluntary organisations.
• Working with colleagues across all of our Thrive Tribe services to contribute to new projects and service developments – we’re always looking to share knowledge and resources!
• Ensuring due consideration is given to our Safeguarding, Information Governance and Clinical Governance policies and procedures.
• To ensure safer recruitment and safeguarding for all we adopt pre‑employment processes, including DBS checks.
• Helping us maintain the ethos of Thrive Tribe by driving our organisational culture forward across our services and using every opportunity to embed our values!
