• Support members in understanding foundational, general information about their medication and how health coaching complements their broader health journey.
• Collaborate with program staff and coaching leadership to prepare members for coaching and set clear expectations.
• Utilize presentation and facilitation techniques to deliver clear, engaging, and accessible educational content.
• Follow approved educational content, program guidance, and organizational policies.
• Direct any patient-specific or clinical questions to the member's healthcare professional.

About You  

• Active Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) certification.
• Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, Health Education, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of experience delivering live virtual health education, webinars, or group presentations for adult audiences.
• Experience providing health education related to GLP-1 medications and weight management.
• Strong public speaking and facilitation skills.
• Comfort discussing general medication and program information within a clearly defined scope.
