Make a real difference in people’s lives. Join our Living Well team.
North Yorkshire Council is proud to invest in prevention-focused services that support people to live independently, stay connected, and improve their wellbeing. As part of this commitment, we are expanding our Living Well team and are looking for a passionate, empathetic individual to join us as a Living Well Coordinator.
About the Role
Living Well Coordinators offer time limited support and work directly with individuals and their carers to:
- Reduce loneliness and isolation
- Prevent issues from escalating into crises
- Support people to access their local community
- Promote small but meaningful changes that improve health, wellbeing, and independence
- Provide advice and support relating to finances, bereavement, employment and housing
You’ll help people build confidence, connect with local groups and services, and access high-quality advice and information. You’ll also work closely with internal teams such as Public Health and Stronger Communities, and external partners including NHS colleagues, Voluntary and Community Sector organisations, and District Councils. The role will be based in the Richmond and Hambleton area, but there would be a requirement to assist at times with supporting our neighbouring teams Countywide.

We’re seeking someone who:
- Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Can motivate and engage people in a non-judgmental, supportive way
- Is passionate about helping others and making a positive impact
- Thrives in a collaborative, multi-agency environment
This is a challenging but deeply rewarding role where you’ll be part of an innovative team making a real difference across North Yorkshire.
Why Join Us?

- Enjoy opportunities for professional development and career progression
- The opportunity to develop knowledge, experience and skills with a leading care provider
- A programme of professional support, supervision and training
- The opportunity to work as part of a safe culture of support and learning, where respect is treated as paramount.
- A variety of competitive employee benefits including generous leave entitlement, market leading pension scheme, access to range of salary sacrifice schemes and discounts
- Travel expenses will be reimbursed
- The opportunity to play a key part in the development of our services
