Bradford Health Inequities Programme (Bhip)
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity to take a key management role within Happy Healthy You, a community-rooted organisation delivering culturally grounded health and wellbeing activity across Bradford, while playing a significant role in the delivery of the five-year Bradford Health Inequities Programme (Bhip).
You will work across HHU’s established programmes and community activity while helping to develop and strengthen the organisation as it grows. Alongside this, you will have a significant role in Bhip, supporting an ambitious programme that brings together communities, the VCSE sector and health and care systems to address health inequities driven by structural racism and discrimination.
The role offers a distinctive opportunity to connect strong community-based delivery with wider change, helping ensure that what is learned through HHU’s trusted relationships and Bhip’s work leads to better practice, stronger services, and demonstrable outcomes for communities.
You will join at a crucial point in the development of both HHU and Bhip, with genuine scope to shape how programmes are delivered, developed, evaluated, and improved as the work grows.
Role Description
About you / The Role
You will be an experienced and capable programme manager with a strong track record of managing community-based programmes, activities, services, and teams, with the ability to design, develop and implement plans and projects that achieve effective delivery and measurable outcomes.
You will understand the realities of delivering culturally grounded health and wellbeing activity alongside Global Majority communities and be committed to addressing health inequities, structural racism, and discrimination.
You will be equally comfortable supporting the Bhip Programme Lead, HHU’s CEO and senior management with organisational priorities, managing staff and resources, and working alongside community teams to ensure delivery is well coordinated, responsive and of a consistently high standard. You will have a strong focus on evaluation, ensuring HHU and the Bhip programme can demonstrate the outcomes, impact, and value of its work.
As a key member of the Bhip team, you will lead the operational management of HHU’s contribution, ensuring its community engagement, co-design, Insight to Action and related activity is effectively planned, delivered, monitored, evaluated, and continuously improved.
You will understand how HHU’s existing trusted community activity provides an important route through which communities can engage with and shape Bhip’s aims and work. HHU’s established community delivery footprint will provide a key route for Bhip’s structural literacy, listening, story capture and co-design work, enabling community insight and stories to be translated into action and system change.
You will bring strong people management, organisation, and judgement, with the ability to manage competing priorities, solve problems and maintain effective relationships across HHU, Bhip, communities and partner organisations.

About Happy Healthy You

We go to trusted places where people live, work and gather, working alongside communities to deliver culturally grounded activities and support.

The Bradford Health Inequities Programme (Bhip)
The five-year programme funded by the National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF) and delivered jointly in partnership by Happy Healthy You (HHU) and Race Equality Network (REN). As part of the National Lottery Community Fund’s National Collective, Bhip is one of nine health inequities programmes established nationally to address health inequities caused by structural racism and discrimination.
Working alongside Communities, Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations, the NHS, public services, and other partners across Bradford District, Bhip will co-design, test and evaluate community-led approaches that address health inequities driven by structural racism and discrimination, influence policy and practice, drive system change, and generate evidence and learning for Bradford while contributing to the NLCFs National Collective.
As an innovative five-year programme, Bhip expects to evolve through community engagement, co-design, learning, and evaluation. The Bhip team members should therefore expect their roles to develop over time in response to programme learning, funding, and organisational requirements to achieve its aims.
