Are you looking for a role where the work you do has real purpose? Known internally as a Health Assessment Specialist at Bluecrest Wellness, you’ll play a vital part in helping people take control of their health and wellbeing. Every day, you’ll meet customers who are relying on your support, reassurance and professionalism, and the impact you make can genuinely change lives.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, independence and the satisfaction of delivering high‑quality care. No two days are ever the same: you’ll travel across your region, work in a range of well‑presented venues, and guide customers through important health assessments that give them clarity and confidence about their wellbeing.

You don’t need to come with a specific background, what matters most is your passion for health, your love of meeting new people, and your excitement for a role that blends hands‑on clinical work with meaningful customer interaction. It’s a role where your empathy, accuracy and energy truly count.

If you want a job that feels rewarding, purposeful and genuinely appreciated, this could be the perfect next step.

Responsibilities, hours and the day-to-day of the role

In this role, you’ll work 3 × 10‑hour shifts per week, totalling 30 hours, with shifts scheduled between 6am and 10pm, Monday to Sunday. Your rota is created by our Resource Team and provided three weeks in advance, giving you plenty of time to plan ahead. You will have the option to request 2-days in a calendar month where you cannot work due to particular reasons.

Travel is a regular part of the role and adds variety to your week. You may need to drive up to two hours to reach your venue for the day (this travel sits outside your 10‑hour shift). However, for any drives over 1.5 hours we’ll make sure to provide you with paid accommodation and meal allowance! On occasion, depending on the venue type, you may also travel by public transport.

At Bluecrest, we pride ourselves on quality, from our customer care to the venues we work in. You’ll have the chance to deliver health assessments in a range of welcoming, well‑presented clinic spaces across your region, keeping your working environment fresh and interesting.

Your day begins with planning your route and travelling to your allocated venue. Once there, you’ll set up your equipment, get settled, and begin greeting your customers for the day. You can expect to see 15–22 customers per day, with appointment times ranging from 10 to 45 minutes, depending on their chosen package.

Throughout the day, you’ll carry out a variety of health assessments, such as:

• PAD
• ECG
• Phlebotomy (once qualified)
• Lung Function
• Body Composition
• And more!

You’ll also offer guidance on any appropriate further testing and keep all necessary administration up to date.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the role is the impact you have on each customer’s experience. You’re often the first step in helping someone better understand their health, and people value the reassurance, professionalism and care you bring to their appointment. While you’re not required to interpret results or provide lifestyle advice afterwards, your role is essential in ensuring every customer feels supported, informed and looked after.

This is a hands‑on, people‑focused role where no two days are the same, and where the work you do genuinely makes a difference.
