BRIDGEND COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL

Age Friendly Communities Co-ordinator

Job Description

37 hours per week

Fixed Term up to March 2024 (with a possible extension)

We are seeking an energetic and creative individual who can bring local communities and organisations together and to support Bridgend to become an Age Friendly Community. The World Health Organisation describes Age Friendly Communities as being places in which older people, communities, policies, services, settings and structures work together in partnership to support and enable us all to age well. The role will help co-ordinate and engage with a range of networks and partnerships across eight areas of focus that contribute to Age Friendly Communities. These include outdoor spaces and buildings, transport, housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information and community support and health services. The role is supported by Welsh Government as part of a National commitment to developing Age Friendly Communities. The post holder will be involved in raising awareness of the programme and engaging key partners and stakeholders in identifying the current position and the development of action plans. The post holder will be experienced and comfortable working with people in a range of settings and at different levels in organisations and will be adept at capturing information and data that can support the development of baseline positions and evaluation of progress being made. Although this role will be based within Bridgend County Borough Council and will help develop a “One Council” approach to ageing well, it will also connect with external partnerships and any regional or national work that might develop in regards to the Age Friendly Communities programme.

The ability to greet customers through the medium of Welsh is a requirement for this post.

Protecting children, young people or adults at risk is a core responsibility of all council employees.

Applicants should note that a criminal records check by the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) will be necessary for the successful applicant.
