Objectives

You will engage partner organisations in the VCSE sector to commit to staff being trained to deliver ‘Connect 5’ – a workforce development programme that empowers individuals to improve and sustain mental wellbeing, both in themselves and in others.

It teaches the development of skills, which empower people to take pro-active steps to build mental health resilience for themselves and others. The programme will be disseminated more widely than anywhere it has previously been attempted, in an effort to reform and enhance normal ways of working and embed the GM-Connect 5 principles across the whole Public Service and Voluntary Community Social Enterprise (VCSE) system and the communities they serve.

The Lead Engagement Worker will be responsible for driving the adoption of the Connect 5 model within the VCSE sector in Greater Manchester while ensuring inclusivity across geographies, sectors and communities of identity. The Lead Engagement Worker will be responsible for making sure partner organisations remain active participants in the project.
