Description

As our service expands, we have vacancies in our Social Prescribing team for Health & Wellbeing coaches (HWCs) to work across our North Somerset, Bristol, and South Gloucester sites.

HWCs use coaching skills to help individuals to identify, set and track personalised health and wellbeing goals and will provide support on a 1-1 basis or via group coaching sessions.

In this rewarding role you will have the opportunity to make a real difference, supporting others to adopt healthy lifestyle behaviours and improve health outcomes.

To empower patients to take control of their health and wellbeing with health improvement changes such as weight loss, eating well, increasing physical activity levels, and stopping smoking.

To plan and facilitate the delivery of groups and workshops focussed on weight loss, healthy eating and physical activity.

Record and evaluate a caseload of client contacts and progress on a weekly basis ensuring all information is accurately recorded in line with procedures and guidelines used by the service.

Communicate with colleagues and partner agencies to establish referral routes into the service, in particular, from groups with poorer health outcomes, those experiencing health inequalities, including from areas in BNSSG with the highest levels of multiple deprivation.
