Health Referral Facilitator

2 weeks ago


Sleaford, United Kingdom GLL Full time

If you have a genuine passion for supporting people, join us as an Health Referral Facilitator and help to improve people’s level of fitness, health and ultimately, quality of life.

GLL is a charitable social enterprise and the UK’s largest leisure provider, partnering with local authorities to run leisure centres, swimming pools and world-class sporting venues. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are different. Reinvesting back into our facilities, communities and people, we’re growing - and are committed to developing the skills of our Healthwise Facilitator too, through accredited and on the job training.

The Healthwise Service includes a weight management programme for those who are overweight or obese as well as a physical activity on referral pathway which supports eligible adults to become more physically active and gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to maintain and improve their physical activity levels. As an Health Referral Instructor, you’ll help us to support people in changing their entire lifestyle.

It all begins with an assessment. People can be nervous, so you’ll need a patient, calm approach that puts them at ease. After identifying their needs, you’ll then demonstrate the equipment and design a bespoke programme, from simple exercises to group classes. Naturally, you’ll chart their progress too, taking measurements, discussing how they’re getting on and showing just how far they’ve come. Rather than short term results, your focus will be on helping people to gain the tools and confidence they need to take responsibility for their own body and health.

We are looking for an experienced instructor with a GP referral qualification. People inspired by the opportunity to make a difference. If you are a fitness professional or someone with an academic background in a sport or health related discipline and relevant vocational experience who’s confident, sensitive and able to inspire a wide range of people often with low fitness and confidence levels this is for you. That means you will need to be CIMPSA registered and have a Level 3 GP Referral qualification and ideally experience of delivering lifestyle interventions too.

Few fitness careers are as rewarding as this. So if you are motivated to progress your career with an organisation that improves lives, join us and enjoy great benefits including opportunities to work across various locations, flexible hours, a uniform and discounted membership at all our leisure centres.

The welfare and safety of the children in our care is of the utmost importance to us at GLL. We follow safer recruitment procedures to ensure that our staff are checked and appropriate to work with children and young people.

Therefore we’ll require you to complete an enhance DBS check before you will be allowed to start work.
