You’ll lead engaging, fun and inclusive group sessions, using coaching skills to help families set realistic goals, overcome barriers and make changes that fit into everyday life.\nThis is a hands-on role where you’ll see the difference you make. You’ll spend most of your time working directly with children and families, supporting them between sessions and building the kind of trusting relationships that keep people motivated.

You’ll use coaching skills such as motivational interviewing and goal setting to help people overcome barriers and lose weight in a sustainable way.\nSupport participants between sessions. You’ll stay in touch with the people in your groups by calling anyone who misses a session, running follow-up calls and drop-ins, and signposting extra support when someone needs it. You’ll always be sensitive to their physical and emotional needs and follow local and national safeguarding procedures.\nAssess, record and report. You’ll take anthropometric measurements (such as height and weight) to support patient assessment and monitoring. You’ll keep paper and computer records of referrals, contacts and outcomes accurate and up to date, with all data updated within 48 hours of a session. You’ll also use this information to produce clear reports and review how well our programmes are working, so we can keep improving results together.\nBuild partnerships in the community. You’ll develop and maintain relationships with GPs, referrers, commissioners and local partners, and get to know the issues affecting the communities we serve. You’ll also provide health awareness, information and training to local groups and individuals to promote healthier lifestyles.\nPitch in where needed.
