Description

The Trust has committed in the People Plan to the moral imperative of taking care of our UHP people and creating a sense of belonging, compassion and care.

The Wellbeing Advisor role forms part of the Trust's ability to actualise its cultural plan to create a healthy organisation which enables delivery on its Operating Plan through a healthy and engaged workforce.


The Wellbeing Advisors will be compassionate individuals capable of getting alongside staff to support wellbeing and enable them to remain at work, with any required reasonable adjustments or return to work from a period of sickness in the knowledge that the return will support their wellbeing.

In so doing, the Advisors will work collaboratively with Ops Managers and People Partners to actively engage individuals in a timely manner, supporting delivery of the Work Well Strategy, collecting and analysing qualitative and quantitative data to measure progress and inform future design of work so that meaning and impact are optimised.


Above all the Wellbeing Advisors will be focussed on ensuring staff are supported in a proactive way to be their best selves at work and at home.

Attitude and aptitude will be a key feature of the role with a desire to truly support the wellbeing of staff.
