Description

We are looking to work with an individual or agency with experience using co-design methods with public sector audiences, to create resources and tools to support more local authorities in the UK to adopt age-friendly approaches.

Age-friendly Communities are localities committed to adopting the World Health Organisation's Age-friendly Communities approach. By following this approach, local groups, leaders, councils, businesses and older residents work together to identify and make changes in both the physical and social environments. Centre for Ageing Better provide the secretariat for the UK Network of Age-friendly Communities, which currently comprises a membership of 89 local authorities. We are aiming to grow this network, as well as the number of local authorities who are taking specific action to address inequalities in ageing.

We are looking to commission an individual or agency to work with us to lead a design process to create a small number of tools and resources to support places to be more age-friendly. The tools will be co-designed with and tailored to the specific types of local authorities - and audiences within them - where we can best focus and increase our impact. The ideal candidate/s will be experienced in co-design methods, with strong stakeholder engagement skills and knowledge of ageing and of local government. Most importantly, they will have experience creating resources that make change happen.
