Summary

In March 2024 we published our ambitious five year strategy which set out our plans to make East London a place where people age well, and where older people live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. We are now looking for someone with operational expertise and experience in older people’s community-based activity programmes to join our team and lead the day-to-day delivery of our activities programme.

Delivered across the three richly diverse London boroughs of Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Newham our Community Engagement programme currently includes:

Exercise classes to help maintain and develop fitness, strength and mobility to prevent falls and promote wellbeing (e.g through the provision of chair-based yoga and walking groups) in our centres and at outreach settings.

Social activities and events giving older people the opportunity to meet and connect in our centres and in outreach settings.

Health talks and learning events providing older people with the information ad knowledge they need to remain healthy and independent.

Lunch clubs providing healthy, warm and affordable meals as well as social connection.

Digital inclusion supporting older people using digital devices and getting online.

We are able to demonstrate meaningful impact with 97% of people who use our services telling us that they feel better connected to their community and 96% stating that they are maintaining a good level of physical independence as a result of the programmes we deliver.

Please note the salary listed is for a full-time role of 35 hours or pro-rata for 28 hours.

Please note the post holder will be expected to base themselves across our service locations - Newham, Tower Hamlets and Hackney – and our 4 main sites as the role requires.

Please note we will view applications as they come in and we reserve the right to close the job early.
