Active Living Manager

A new role and exciting local opportunity to inspire change in later life and make this a great place to grow old well.

We are reimagining our services for a new generation of older people, with more focus on earlier interventions and a shift away from reactive interventions.

We know that good health and happiness are closely linked and getting active is a great way to feel more positive. We think it is never too late to start something new.
