Published requirement description

Since the NE-BHAWA was launched in 2009, it has worked to improve health and wellbeing through the workplace setting - with more than 400 regional employers participating in the scheme so far.

The current contract covers regional coordination of the programme, website management, PR and comms, production of regional resources, some regional business engagement, support with assessments, verification and quality assurance of the award process, regional training/capacity building opportunities and webinars.
