Use Your Health Experiences in a New Job
20th Aug 2008

Manchester Public Health Development Service is looking for Health Trainers. Experience of living with a long-term condition like HIV or voluntary work is useful in this type of job.

This may be a good opportunity to get back into paid work again. Part-time and full-time health trainers are wanted.

Here are the job details:
Do you like working with people out in the community? Would you like to help others find ways to improve their health and well being? Are you target driven and outcome focused? Are you keen to develop your skills? Then why not become one of a new team of Health Trainers working in Manchester?

As a Health Trainer, you will work with local people to improve health and well-being. You will be someone who is interested in health and who has some understanding of the difficulties people can face in making healthier choices.

Whilst you may not have worked in the health service before you will have:-
- experience of providing health and well being support to individuals
- experience of working with local community groups.

We will provide you with a full training and development programme.

We particularly welcome applications from men who are currently under represented in our programme, and from people who can speak another community language.

If you think this might be for you but you want to find out more call Aurora on 0161 861 2902 or come along to our open event at Manchester Town Hall Monday 29th September 10am- 2.30pm.
