Partnerships & Engagement Officer

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will support the delivery of the ABL Community Engagement Strategy to promote IWS, working closely with ABLs communications team to raise the profile of the service across the local community. The role will involve building and maintaining strong relationships with local services, stakeholders, GP practices, Primary Care Networks (PCNs), and wider referral partners to increase awareness, strengthen referral pathways, and support co‑production opportunities.

The postholder will organise and attend meetings, health forums, and community events to represent ABL and promote IWS, including delivering presentations and awareness sessions to small and medium‑sized groups. Working collaboratively with operational colleagues and the wider Nottinghamshire IWS team, the role will support referral management, service delivery, and ongoing service development through monitoring, evaluation, and stakeholder feedback. Responsibilities will also include maintaining partnership databases, contributing to reports and engagement updates, supporting communication campaigns and public events, and helping to identify innovative approaches to service promotion and engagement.

Flexibility will be required to support occasional weekend events and provide cover during periods of sickness or annual leave where necessary.

You will be the Partnerships & Engagement Officer for the Your Health Notts Integrated Wellbeing Service for Nottinghamshire County.

You will be expected to engage at neighbourhood and place level to increase referrals into the IWS and build long‑lasting relationships with local partners. This will involve being responsible for developing and maintaining strong, positive and long‑lasting relationships with a wide range of stakeholder groups, including but not limited to local authority, primary and secondary care, leisure services and the community and voluntary sector and community services.

You will be a motivated, passionate, organised and proactive communicator, with experience working in a community setting. ABL take a strengths focused asset‑based approach to community delivery, looking to innovate and partner, not replicate existing delivery. The role will require dynamic working which embraces the vision and values we wish to establish for the IWS supporting people to achieve healthy lives.

No two days will be the same in this varied and flexible role. If you are as comfortable spending a day with the team as you are working independently and confidently with new people and are highly organised this could be the job for you.

This is a demanding job, but you will not be on your own. ABLs highly experienced and friendly multi‑disciplinary team of Health and Social Care professionals, Business Intelligence, Service Development, Governance, Finance and Business Development are there to support. Additionally, existing experienced delivery teams will be available to support you to drive the Service forward.
