What will you be doing?
Reporting to the Head of Policy and Wellbeing, you will support the development, implementation and evaluation of the wellbeing and engagement aspects of the People Strategy, and its associated action plans and projects. You will keep a close overview to ensure that all workforce projects and activities with wellbeing and engagement impact are joined up and align with the Council's People Strategy, and our values, behaviour and culture.
You will be ahead of the latest research-based workplace wellbeing initiatives and able to understand what would support and enhance our corporate priorities, including in our role as a public health authority. You will collaborate with internal and external partners to understand needs within the organisation, design, implement and evaluate appropriate wellbeing and engagement activity, and use your expertise to contribute to the development of both our employment practices, and engagement activity, to ensure that our actions as an employer maximise employee engagement and lead to people feeling well and being valued.
About you
You will have education and/or work experience in employee wellbeing or other employment-related discipline, demonstrable knowledge, understanding and experience of how workplace health and wellbeing theory can be put in to practice, as well as how to drive employee engagement.
You will be able to demonstrate your experience of designing, delivering and evaluating workplace health and wellbeing interventions in a large organisation and how to build credible and effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders that create impact.
You will value diversity, treat others with respect, and take responsibility for your own actions. You will be able to analyse relevant quantitative and qualitative data and use this to present well-reasoned conclusions and recommendations, that meet the needs of stakeholders across the organisation. You will achieve high standards, as well as understanding the importance of discretion in relation to the employee experience.
This role is hybrid in nature, with an expected mix of weekly attendance at the Council's base in Alconbury Weald, remote working, and the ability to travel independently around the County, visibly promoting wellbeing and engagement focused activity across our range of work locations.
