The Active Wellbeing Society (TAWS) is a community benefit society and cooperative working to develop healthy, happy communities living active and connected lives.


Our vision is for a society where people have the autonomy, capacity, resources and skills to become the architects of their own destiny; where our individual wellbeing is recognised as being bound up in our collective responsibility to and dependency on each other; and where all of us feel empowered as agents of social change to make a difference - whether at an individual level or more widely.


By working collaboratively with communities we aim to bring about sustainable change on an social, environmental and economic level; to do the social knitting required to create stronger and more resilient communities and to support communities to identify, mitigate and remove the barriers that prevent them from living active and connected lives.


In this role you will be supporting the Development and Delivery team with street closures and events that bring neighbours and communities together on their own doorsteps through conversation, engagement and physical activity in areas most at need across Birmingham.


We need someone that is willing, confident and friendly and able to speak with people and make referrals where necessary.
