Job Overview
Age Friendly Salford (AFS) is a partnership programme delivered by Inspiring Communities Together (lead partner), Age UK Salford & Trafford and Salford CVS. It aims to support older residents to live healthy, active and connected lives, reduce loneliness, improve wellbeing and enable people to age well in their communities.
AFS has evolved into a neighbourhood-based delivery model aligned with Salford’s Locality Plan and the Greater Manchester Living Well in Later Life approach. Social participation activities such as Brew & Chat, Walk & Talk, Check & Chat and related wellbeing and safety sessions play a central role in reducing isolation and promoting community connection.
This role is responsible for the planning, delivery and monitoring of AFS social participation activities, supporting older people across neighbourhoods to connect with others, improve their wellbeing and access further opportunities including digital support, community learning and volunteering pathways.
The postholder will work closely with colleagues across the Age Friendly Salford partnership, support volunteers and ensure high quality delivery that reflects local need.
