The Dalgarno Community Champions project focuses on reaching residents living in the five social housing estates known as the Dalgarno Wedge.
The Champions reach out to the community in different ways from meeting people on the streets, knocking on doors and engaging people through various events and networks. Talking to residents regularly provides a rich insight into identifying challenges and learning what people need to influence commissioners, other professionals, and decision makers. The Champions also support residents in making informed choices about a range of issues linked to their health and wellbeing. Through the programme the Champions are supported in gaining vital skills, training, and experience to progress them in their own professional development.
Job Description:
