The team will work together to further expand the project and support partners across Lincolnshire in facilitating the delivery of the HAF programme.

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with colleagues within the Council, health professionals, leisure providers, education establishments, and the voluntary sector to deliver this programme.

This is a pivotal role communicating key health messages to improve the health of children and young people across Lincolnshire. We are looking for a team player with innovative ideas to reach the target audience using various communication methods.
