Healthier You Bank Practitioner - North West London

Join us on our journey to empower over a million people to change their behaviours and thrive! At Thrive Tribe we deliver award-winning healthy lifestyle and wellbeing programmes that make people happier and healthier. It’s a really exciting time to join us as we continue to deliver the Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) throughout North West London and we’re looking for a team of passionate health coaches (or Diabetes Prevention Practitioners) to join us on a casual basis as part of our bank team!

The purpose of a health coach is to improve lives, through empowering people to make effective long-term changes that halt or reverse the progression of Type 2 Diabetes. This is achieved through successfully delivering our quality programmes and providing evidence-based information, supporting individuals to improve their health, lose weight and ultimately lower their risk of developing diabetes.

Like all roles at Thrive Tribe, you can expect your time at work to be fun, varied and challenging. A typical day as a Health Coach might include:

• Delivering evidence-based group sessions that focus on diet, nutrition, physical activity and behaviour change.
• Facilitating group intervention sessions to support your clients in achieving their goals and cultivating a safe and positive environment.
• Promoting the Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme internally and externally, and improving referral pathways between other services and partner organisations.
• Engaging in ongoing training relevant to your role, such as Behaviour Change Level 1 and 2.
• Working towards criteria and targets established within the National Diabetes Prevention Programmes (NDPP) quality assurance framework, including all Clinical Governance procedures.
• Working with colleagues across all of our Thrive Tribe services to contribute to new projects and service developments.
• Ensuring due consideration and adherence to our internal Thrive Tribe policies, including Information Governance, Safeguarding and Complaints procedures.
• Helping us maintain the ethos of Thrive Tribe by driving our organisational culture forward across our services and using every opportunity to embed our values.
• Transporting equipment, such as scales to and from various community venues.

About you… More than anything, we are looking for a team player who puts their heart into their work. We’ve got some core values that run through everything we do:

• Be the change: You like helping people.
• Be effective: You’re patient and can adapt under pressure.
• Be happy: You recognise the power of a smile.
• Be successful: You are motivated and driven.
• Be big-hearted: You want to make a difference.

We’re looking for someone who can combine health improvement knowledge with first class communication and motivational skills. If you have experience of delivering group-based interventions, and a real understanding of the impact personal characteristics and circumstances can have on health behaviours then we want to hear from you. Bonus points if you have a qualification in a health promotion related subject, such as nutrition, exercise, or health coaching!

Although not essential, we are particularly keen to hear from applicants who are fluent in Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Urdu, Spanish, and/or British Sign Language for these roles. We hire based on attitude over traditional skills and experience so if you don’t have all of the necessary experience but feel you are right for the job we would love to hear from you!

Due to the nature of this role, we’re looking for someone who is seeking a varied and flexible working pattern including evenings and weekend work.

Perks:

• Flexible working – we’re serious about life/work balance.
• Tailored health and wellbeing support.
• Rewards portal offering discounts on shops, restaurants, and days out.
• Access to Mental Health First Aid as well as many other training and development courses!

Contract: Zero hours contract

Salary: £14 - £20 per hour

Location: This is a hybrid-remote role. There is no office base so the role will require some home working, with regular travel across North West London.

Please note, the successful applicant will be required to have the right to work in the UK. We believe that every person has the right to thrive at work, which is why we are committed to equal employment opportunity and will not discriminate.
