Are you passionate about promoting positive healthy choices? Keen to empower others to join the health revolution? Then you’ll thrive in our team as a Health Coach coaching our customers on healthy lifestyles! You’ll be a key part in making a big difference each day as you help our customers achieve their hopes and aspirations. How amazing is that!
We have a fabulous opportunity for you to join our awesome team. You will be working as part of a team with two other Health Coaches alongside Support Coordinators, Senior Client Services Managers, and a Mental Health Practice Lead, delivering person-centred mental health recovery support and encouraging independence.
Our customers live in shared houses of up to 5 people across Exeter and Torbay.
Typical day as a Health Coach
* You’ll transform lives by coaching customers as part of a multi-disciplinary team alongside our support and care colleagues as well as with external partner organisations.
* Coaching our customers who are experiencing mental health issues to take control and ownership of their health.
* You’ll carry out assessments and create individual health plans to enable our customers to adopt healthy behaviours, focusing on what is strong, not what’s wrong.
* Deliver interventions to support customers to achieve their health goals identified in their plan.
* You’ll be a change maker there to motivate others to kick their unwanted habits and activate personalised healthy lifestyles!

* You’re able to use technology; we have a variety of systems we use for reporting, creating support plans, emails, Teams calls, and so on.
* You’ll be given the latest IT Kit, which could include a Surface Pro Tablet and Smartphone, making it easier to complete support plans on the go.
