About the role

You will support disabled people to access activities they’re interested in within the community alongside others with similar interests.

You will be able to support people to identify goals, interests and to motivate and support them to achieve these through increased activity and signposting.

You will be able to engage and communicate easily with people with a range of communication needs and from different backgrounds, and be adaptable and creative in your approach.

You will be able to work alone, as well as part of a team, including having the ability to deal with difficult situations as they arise.

You will work with local activity providers, helping them understand how they can better support disabled people, to create a broader network of local community support.

With a record of personal development and learning, you will be able to travel easily around Salford and surrounding areas, to work flexibly according to the needs of those you support and the organisation.

Being a Lifestyle Coach can be challenging and requires confidence and resilience but is also a lot of fun. For the right person, it is a hugely rewarding role.

We encourage applications by people from all backgrounds, and would be particularly interested in applications from disabled people.

A Disclosure and Barring Service disclosure will be requested when the post is offered, but a criminal record is not necessarily a bar to obtaining this position.
