This is an exciting opportunity for a Development Officer, who would like to support us to work with communities, organisations and partners to deliver our Physical Activity Framework and support our vision of Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland: a place where physical activity is part of daily life, leading to people living healthier and happier lives.

National guidelines advise that physical activity promotion for inactive people with a range of long-term conditions and physical activity brief advice in healthcare is one of 'best buys' for getting a population active.

This post will support us to focus on increasing opportunities to embed physical activity advice and guidance into health care settings and amongst health care professionals, to both increase activity levels and improve the health and wellbeing of our residents. Examples of projects (although not a definitive list):

Developing a universal and targeted approach to raise physical activity in low participating groups and settings
Raise awareness of the health and wellbeing benefits of physical activity to partners, settings and communities (with a focus on the health sector and health professionals)
