We are seeking to appoint three fixed-term Schools Health Hub Coordinators.
The co-ordinators will work as part of the newly formed Tackling Emerging Threats to Children Team to support schools to identify and tackle health and wellbeing issues for children, young people and families.

You will provide advice and guidance, identify evidence based specialist training and develop curriculum resources to support schools to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people. Areas of responsibility could include building resilience, emotional health and wellbeing, sexual health, healthy relationships, diet and nutrition, physical activity, healthy eating, smoking and tobacco, substance misuse and risk taking behaviours.
