The NHS Health Check team is looking for an enthusiastic and flexible Health Check Adviser to work across Kent delivering NHS Health Checks to eligible individuals aged between 40 and 74.

We then support them to reduce their risk through onward referral for further investigation and/or lifestyle support.
The service is working to reduce the impact of health inequalities by offering Health Checks in a wide variety of settings around the county.

- To refer individuals for further investigation and/or lifestyle support as appropriate
- To undertake administrative tasks in relation to our targeted invitation process, including mail merges, telephone calls to patients and accurate record keeping
