The Role In Tameside over 73,000 people who live in the borough are not currently active enough. In order to improve their health and wellbeing, we want to change this. This is an exciting opportunity to join our Public Health team within Tameside MBC in a new role which will be leading on a major priority across the council. This role will provide strategic leadership both within Public Health and across the council for the public leisure offer in Tameside and the wider physical activity agenda. The Head of Leisure & Physical Activity will be the lead for leisure within the organisation, alongside the Director of Public Health. This will include being the client lead for the operator of the public leisure service in Tameside. This service is currently run by an independent trust, which the council commissions, and the facilities it operates out of are owned by the council. The service is shifting into a new phase, with leadership for this agenda only recently moving to Public Health in the council. There is a renewed focus on recognising the inequalities and barriers that some residents face in being active, and for the service to support more people to move on a regular basis. It also continues to be important that our leisure facilities are managed and maintained in the best way possible, between the operator and the council, to facilitate good access for residents. This role will be responsible for the client management of this function, including supporting the Director of Public Health in leading the service through substantial review and transformation in the short to medium term. Aligned to the work around the leisure offer, this role will also lead strategically on the wider physical activity agenda and delivering on the Tameside Moving strategy as part of the broader public health and wellbeing agenda. This aspect of the role will support existing work in the Public Health team to enable more movement across our communities and maximise opportunities around physical activity across the council and wider partnerships. This role will be key to moving forward with that work and those ambitions to improve the health and wellbeing outcomes of Tameside residents. It is a very exciting time to join Tameside council, with a lot of positive change taking place and new investment in services, which gives us the opportunity to go even further to make a difference for our residents and the health outcomes and inequalities across the borough. The role will have a strong focus on partnership working across a range of services within the council, particularly relating to the wider Public Health Team, Finance and Estates. There will be partnership work with external agencies, particularly the leisure operator, and across the NHS, other statutory partners and the voluntary, community, faith & social enterprise sector. This role will report to the Director of Public Health and be part of the Public Health Senior Team as well as the Extended Leadership Team of the council, which positions the role well to further influence work to improve physical activity across all parts of the council. About You We are seeking an appropriately qualified professional with proven experience and knowledge of the leisure sector, who wants to have a real impact to effect change. Alongside this, they will have excellent problem solving, communication, political and technical skills and the energy and drive to make a major contribution to improving health and reducing inequalities in Tameside, through increased movement. You will have excellent relationship and partnership skills to build a mutually supportive way of working with the leisure operator, to foster a culture of collaboration, system leadership and continuous improvement to deliver the best outcomes for the residents of Tameside.
