Community Health Coach

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.

A typical day as a Community Health Coach might include :


• 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!, For those who are looking for it there are always opportunities to grow, broaden your skills, lead on projects and progress.
