Cycling & Health Project Co-ordinator
Cycle West is a Bristol-based charity established
to encourage and enable more people to take up
cycling.
We are about to launch a new cycle promotion
project working in the healthcare sector. In
close partnership with GPs, practice nurses and
health promotion experts, the project will provide
a unique package of services designed to help
people with specific health-related needs begin
cycling. The project will work with coronary and
stroke patients, people with rheumatic or
respiratory conditions, mental health
service-users and people who are obese or
overweight.
The project will provide its clients with relevant
information and advice plus practical help and
support including cycle skills training.
We are seeking a Co-ordinator to implement and
develop this exciting programme. The post is
part-time (2.5 days per week) and the project will
run for two years (with the possibility of being
extended).
UKP 17,500 p/a pro rata
The successful applicant will be enthusiastic
about cycling and able to demonstrate a clear and
detailed understanding of its many health
benefits. They will be able to assimilate and
utilise public health data and communicate
effectively with healthcare professionals.
Familiarity with the structure of the NHS and its
emphasis on primary care is highly desirable.
Experience of managing a health promotion project
is a distinct advantage.
