Bank Health Coach

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. 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.

A typical day as a Health Coach might include:

• Delivering evidence-based interventions 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 - we're always looking to share knowledge and resources!


• 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!, For those who are looking for it there are always opportunities to grow, broaden your skills, lead on projects and progress. We encourage everyone to have regular career conversations!


• Events

From our annual Challenge Weekend to ThriveFest, there's always plenty of opportunities throughout the year for us to get together and have fun!

• Recognition

We understand the importance of saying thanks, that's why we have a peer reflection platform where you can recognise colleagues' great work!

• Employee Experience

Our culture is important to us. We have an Employee Experience team dedicated to ensuring Thrive Tribe is a great place to work.

More than anything, we are looking for a team player who puts their heart in to 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

Happy working solo or as part of a team, you love meeting targets. And will be given opportunities to contribute and develop your career., You want to make a difference. Working with a like-minded team of optimistic people, we want the same thing to do 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 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!

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!
