We recognise that no two people requesting our support do so for the same reason and tailor our service to achieve the best results for each of our beneficiaries.

We’re currently looking for two Wellness & Behaviour Change Coaches to join our growing team initially on a fixed term basis, working an average of 18.75 hours per week with some flexibility.

If you are a health and wellness professional with experience of supporting positive behaviour change, this is a great opportunity to deliver services that are making a real difference to the UK's fire family.

At the Fire Fighters Charity, you will be supported to develop and grow while changing the lives of others. We are an inclusive employer that values equality, diversity and provides an environment in which our people can thrive.

The Role

The needs of the Fire Services community are ever changing. As a Wellness & Behaviour Change Coach, you will deliver digital and face-to-face health and wellness programmes on a range of topics. With an initial focus on improving psychological wellbeing, you will aim to equip programme participants with the skills, knowledge and confidence to maintain and improve their mental, physical and social health.

Reporting to the Health Improvement Practitioner, you will:

  • Deliver learning experiences to small and large groups
  • Support the design, development and evaluation of targeted health and wellness programmes and resources
  • Signpost programme participants to other services when appropriate

  • Extensive experience of supporting positive behaviour change
  • Experience of coaching people in health and wellness-related matters
  • An understanding of the health and wellbeing needs of emergency services workers
  • The ability to develop and deliver health and wellness learning materials and shape these to suit the needs of various audiences
  • A qualification and/or extensive experience in health coaching and wellness

Other organisations may call this role Health and Wellbeing Coach, Health and Wellness Practitioner, Health and Wellbeing Practitioner, Wellness and Behaviour Change Coach, or Behaviour Change Coach.
