The role will coordinate the This Girl Can Newcastle programme on behalf of the programme partners (Rise and Newcastle City Council).
Rise is a leading North East charity with a vision to create a higher quality of life for communities that need it the most in Northumberland and Tyne & Wear. Our purpose, which sets out how we intend to achieve that vision, is to help our partners to unlock the power of physical activity and collectively effect long-term system change in order to positively impact more lives across our region. We want to enable our partners to see things differently, work smarter, and maximise their results using physical activity.
Applicants will be interested to know that we have recently completed a 12- month trial of a 4-day working week, where full time employees worked for 30 hours per week between Monday and Thursday, rather than the contractual 37 hours format from Monday to Friday (with no change in salary). The trial was so successful in terms of maintaining full time productivity whilst ensuring a good work/life balance, that we have now adopted this way of working moving forward, with an annual review to ensure it is still working for everyone. If you join us, you will be eligible to opt-in to a 4-day working week.
