Penrith, United Kingdom GLL Full time

**Health Referral Facilitator**

GLL is looking for a Health Referral Facilitator based at Penrith Leisure Centre.

If you have a genuine passion for supporting people, join us as a 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 UKs 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 are growing and committed to developing the skills of our Healthwise Exercise Referral Instructors too, through accredited and on-the-job training.

Healthwise is our GP Referral Scheme, designed to support a wide range of people. NHS patients can be referred for many reasons from diabetes and heart disease to depression, dementia or post-operative recovery. Rehabilitation or weight loss are just the start. As a Health Referral Facilitator, you will help us to educate people in changing their entire lifestyle.

It all begins with an assessment. People can be nervous, so you will need a patient, calm approach that puts them at ease in the gym environment. After identifying their needs, you will then demonstrate the equipment and design a bespoke programme, from simple exercises to group classes. Naturally, you will chart their progress too taking measurements, discussing how they are getting on and showing just how far they have 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.

If you are a fitness professional or someone with an academic background in a sporting 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 REPS registered with an NVQ Level 3 Fitness Instructor and experience of delivering lifestyle interventions too.

**In return, we offer a range of benefits that you'd expect from the UK's largest leisure provider**:

- Pension schemes
- Discounted membership at our leisure centres
- The opportunity to join the GLL Society and have a say in how we're run plus associated social events
- Career pathways
- Ongoing training and development to help you to be the best
- 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._
- To be shortlisted for the role, internal applicants will need to demonstrate their commitment to GLL by becoming a Society member where eligible._
- GLL is an equal opportunities employer._
