An exciting opportunity to join our Walking for Health Team
Paths for All is a Scottish Charity. We have a clear focus set out in our Step it Up strategy. We want to get Scotland walking: Everyone. Everyday. Everywhere. Our vision is for Scotland to be a walking nation. We want everyone to have the opportunity to be active every day, creating a happier, healthier and greener Scotland. A key element of this work involves encouraging behaviour change and participation in daily activity through the right programmes, infrastructure and community opportunities.
As a result of some of our team taking up exciting new opportunities within Paths for All, the Walking for Health team is looking for two Development Officers to join us to empower and develop the Scottish Health Walk Network.
Are you passionate about empowering communities to tackle inactivity, improve health and health inequalities to positively impact well-being on a population-wide scale? Well, you could be the person we are looking for!
Day to day tasks for the postholder will include working mainly with the Scottish Health Walk Network member organisations and strategic partners in disadvantaged communities, supporting management of our Walking for Health grants and developing and promoting national resources and campaigns for Walking for Health.
The successful candidates will enjoy working to make a positive difference to individuals health and well-being through Health Walks. They will thrive in a busy environment on a wide range of activities. They should have the ability to form strong relationships with our partners, strategic organisations and SHWN members.
We offer the opportunity to be part of an organisation that recognises staff as our most valued asset. Attractive employment conditions include a contributory pension scheme and flexi-time policy.
If you’re looking for a new challenge in a varied role, and you’re interested in supporting communities to thrive and reducing health inequalities and working towards net-zero, we’d love to hear from you.
