Job: Live Well – Strategic Lead

This strategic role will spearhead the development of the Live Well offer in Whitefield, working alongside residents, local groups, and public services to shape a sustainable model that supports people in live well in their community.

You’ll be:
• A strategic do-er – someone who can translate big ideas into tangible actions that make a real difference on the ground.
• Community-minded – you understand the power of people and place, and you’re passionate about improving lives through meaningful engagement.
• Collaborative and confident – you can bring people together across sectors and levels, keeping everyone focused on shared goals while maintaining trust and accountability.

• Inclusive in approach – you ensure no one is left behind, working proactively to include voices that are often underrepresented.
