Health Promotion Practitioner

Are you passionate about supporting children, young people and families to live healthier lives?

We are looking for a motivated Health Promotion Practitioner to join our Healthy Futures team, delivering engaging public health and wellbeing initiatives across Warwickshire.

In this rewarding role, you will work primarily in the Stratford-upon-Avon area but will be required to work across Warwickshire with schools, parents and community partners, promoting positive health messages and encouraging lifelong healthy habits. You will deliver interactive classroom sessions, assemblies and group activities on topics such as healthy eating, friendships and emotional wellbeing, ensuring sessions are inclusive, engaging and age appropriate.

You will play a key role in delivering the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) and supporting the completion of the Health Needs Assessment (HNA), ensuring accurate data collection using approved IT systems. You will also contribute to school and community events, parent workshops and peer champion programmes, empowering children and young people to take an active role in their health and wellbeing.

Working as part of a supportive and collaborative team, you will build strong relationships with schools and partners and help shape creative, evidence based health initiatives that make a real difference.

We offer comprehensive training, regular supervision and ongoing development in an environment where your contribution is valued.
