Job Summary

Mayo County Council invites applications from suitably qualified candidates for the role of permanent Physical Activity for Health Officer (Grade 5 Analogous). The initial base for this role will be in Castlebar, Co. Mayo.

While the initial assignment for this post will be Mayo Sports Partnership, Mayo County Council reserves the right to redeploy the successful candidate to any other Grade 5 or analogous post within the Council, across any service area, department, or location at any point in time.

The successful candidate will initially report to the Sports Co-Ordinator and work with the Co-Ordinator and staff of Mayo Local Sports Partnership.

The Physical Activity for Health pilot programme, funded by Sport Ireland and Sláintecare, aims to address lower participation rates in physical activity as a risk factor for chronic conditions. These conditions are broadly defined as conditions that last one year or more and require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living or both. In Ireland, 49% of Irish people over 50 years have at least one long-term health condition. 65% of adults over 65 years have two or more long-term health conditions. A Physical Activity for Health Officer hosted in the Local Sports Partnership, will work in collaboration with Sláintecare, the HSE, the local authority and other key stakeholders to provide opportunities for those with chronic conditions to get active.
The Physical Activity for Health Officer role will provide a service to those with a chronic condition who have left the healthcare system and wish to re-engage in physical activity and may need additional support before participating in a current Local Sports Partnership (LSP) programme. The role ensures that those who need more attention and care transferring back to community physical activity will be facilitated within these physical activity programmes and provided with support once they are ready for the mainstream LSP programmes that are on offer locally.

Each Candidate must, on the latest date for receipt of completed application forms:

Be a serving employee in a Local Authority or Regional Assembly (if applicable) and have not less than two years’ satisfactory experience in a post of Clerical Officer or analogous post.

Have obtained at least Grade D (or a Pass), in Higher or Ordinary Level, in five (5) subjects (or four (4) if Irish is included) from the approved list of subjects in the Department of Education established Leaving Certificate Examination or Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme including Irish and/or English and one of the following: Mathematics, Accounting, Business Organisation or Economics,

And
have obtained at least Grade C (or Honours) in Higher Level (or Honours) papers in three (3) subjects in that examination (or two (2) subjects if Irish and/or one of the following is included: Mathematics, Accounting, Business Organisation or Economics)
Or

Have obtained a comparable standard in an equivalent examination,

Hold a third level qualification of at least degree standard,

Desirable:

Hold a degree in Health, Exercise Science, Physical Activity or related field.

A minimum of 2 years’ experience of working directly with groups and individuals who have lower participation rates in physical activity, through the assessment, design and delivery of physical activity-based interventions.
