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.

In this role, you’ll work 3 × 10‑hour shifts per week, totalling 30 hours, with shifts scheduled between 6 am and 10 pm, 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.

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
• 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.
