Community Health Coach in Nottingham

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 super exciting time to join us as we begin to deliver our Integrated Health and Wellbeing Service (IHWS) throughout the City of Nottingham, and we’re looking for a team of Community Health Coaches to join us.

Our IHWS programme is designed to support individuals and families to improve their health behaviours and make sustainable changes to their lifestyle. The programme consists of five key services:

• Stop smoking support
• Tailored physical activity programmes
• Adult weight management
• Child/family weight management
• Health Coaching (this is where you come in!)

The purpose of a health coach is to improve lives, through empowering people to make effective long‑term changes. This is achieved through successfully delivering our quality programmes and providing evidence‑based information, supporting individuals to improve their overall health and wellbeing (including moving more, eating better, stopping smoking and providing onwards referrals where appropriate, such as for mental wellbeing support!).

Like all roles at Thrive Tribe, you can expect your time at work to be fun, varied and challenging. We don’t like to stick to a firm JD as we know from experience that things change throughout the lifetime of a role and it gives our people the chance to play to their strengths.

Typical day as a Community Health Coach:

• Motivating, inspiring and supporting individuals to adopt a healthier lifestyle, through a professional, knowledgeable and empathetic approach
• Delivering evidence‑based interventions that focus on diet, nutrition, physical activity, smoking cessation and behaviour change
• Co‑producing personalised plans with individuals, empowering them to take control of their own healthy lifestyle choices, and providing information and resources that support them to achieve their desired outcomes
• Ensuring an excellent and safe experience for clients, aligning with our internal policies and procedures
• Referring into our other pathways and where appropriate signposting to external support services
• Engaging in ongoing training relevant to your role, including submitting your annual CPD portfolio and evidencing professional development in line with our CPD policy
• Working with colleagues across all of our Thrive Tribe services to contribute to new projects and service developments – we’re always looking to share knowledge and resources!
• Ensuring due consideration is given to Information Governance and Clinical Governance legislation, requirements and guidance
• 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!

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, and we’d love it if they resonate with you too!

• Be the change: You like helping people. You’ll be working with those who need help the most, empowering them to make positive changes to thrive.
• Be effective: You’re patient and can adapt under pressure. Always happy to make time for other people, and have a great attitude.
• Be happy: You recognise the power of a smile. You value a fun, supportive workplace and want to come to work raring to go.
• Be successful: You are motivated and driven. Happy working solo or as part of a team, you love meeting targets and will be given opportunities to contribute and develop your career.
• Be big‑hearted: You want to make a difference. Working with a like‑minded team of optimistic people, you want to engage in meaningful work and change lives.

We’re looking for someone who can combine health improvement knowledge with first‑class communication and motivational skills. If you have experience of delivering health 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, so that we can best support the needs of our clients in Nottingham we are particularly keen to hear from applicants who are fluent in Polish, Urdu, Arabic and/or Romanian. However, we hire based on attitude over traditional skills and experience so if you feel you are right for the job we would love to hear from you!
