At a time of critical change and opportunity for our rivers and their associated habitats and their future our client have created a key role to help champion, campaign, and advocate for clean and healthy rivers.
Their campaigning efforts have significantly helped to put the River Wye on the political agenda. They work with partners both nationally and locally to win support for meaningful action and change, while delivering advice and practical management in the catchment, across the wider team.

You’ll work closely with colleagues at The Trusts, building action with partner organisations and community groups across the catchment, sharing common messages and calls for action across Wales.
With elections in both locally and in Welsh Assembly elections over the next 2 years, following a new government in Westminster, there will be a concerted focus on ensuring actions for clean and healthy rivers feature in debates and discussions and that there is a clear understanding that connected landscapes and wildlife-rich habitats, giving space to nature, are well funded and supported at all levels of decision making.

Purpose of the Post
To ensure the development of a strategic communication, marketing, and engagement strategy for the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector within the Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership.

Lead the representation of the VCS Alliance, and wider VCSE sector, in strategic meetings across Bradford District and Craven. Develop and maintain relationships with a variety of stakeholders operating at grassroots and strategic levels, including Communications Leads at Community First Yorkshire, Public Health and the NHS.
Background
This is an exciting new opportunity to develop a strategic approach to VCSE voice and influence across the Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership to support good population health and health inequality ambitions, specifically relating to healthy minds, healthy children and families and healthy communities.

- And will seek out the voices and insight of the most marginalised communities and those of the VCSE organisations that are working with and supporting those groups to achieve the outcome described above. This citizen voice is a key theme to how we make decisions across our place – Bradford District and Craven.
During this coming year we will work together as partners driven by our ethos to ‘Act as One’ to focus on our shared ambition of people living ‘happy, healthy at home’. Specifically taking pressure off front health and care front line services
