Community Navigation Service

The Tameside Live Well Community Navigation Service helps adults aged 18 and over access the support, opportunities, and connections they need to live well. Delivered in communities across Tameside and funded by Tameside Council, the service supports people who want to make positive changes to their health, wellbeing, or circumstances by connecting them with the right help at the right time.

Our independent Community Navigators work alongside local residents, providing as much or as little support as needed. With detailed knowledge of services, activities and community resources across Tameside, the team helps individuals find personalised support that matches their needs, goals, and interests. Whether someone is looking to improve their wellbeing, access practical help, build confidence, reduce isolation, or become more connected to their community, we help them navigate the options available. By building strong links with local statutory services, community organisations and voluntary groups, Community Navigation makes it easier for residents to access support and prevent issues from escalating.

Alongside direct support for individuals, the service also invests in community development to strengthen local networks, identify gaps in provision and ensure communities have the resources needed to meet the changing needs of Tameside residents.

Focused on what matters most to the people we work with, the service helps individuals discover opportunities, build meaningful connections, and access the support they need to live well.

Closing Date for applications is 9am on Monday 12 October 2026

Interviews will be held on: Stage 1 Online - Tuesday 20 October 2026
