GLL is looking for a Healthy Living Instructor based in Manchester. If you have a genuine passion for supporting people, join us as a Healthy Living Instructor and help to improve people’s level of fitness, health and ultimately, quality of life.
GLL is a charitable social enterprise and the UKs largest leisure provider, partnering with local authorities to run leisure centres, swimming pools and world class sporting venues. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are different. Reinvesting back into our facilities, communities and people, we are growing and committed to developing the skills of our Healthwise Exercise Referral Instructors too, through accredited and on-the-job training.
Healthwise is our GP Referral Scheme, designed to support a wide range of people. NHS patients can be referred for many reasons from diabetes and heart disease to depression, dementia or post-operative recovery. Rehabilitation or weight loss are just the start.
As a Healthy Living Instructor, you will help us to educate people in changing their entire lifestyle. It all begins with an assessment. People can be nervous, so you will need a patient, calm approach that puts them at ease in the gym environment. After identifying their needs, you will then demonstrate the equipment and design a bespoke programme, from simple exercises to group classes. Naturally, you will chart their progress too taking measurements, discussing how they are getting on and showing just how far they have come. Rather than short term results, your focus will be on helping people to gain the tools and confidence they need to take responsibility for their own body and health.
We are looking for an experienced Exercise Referrer inspired by the chance to make a difference and enjoy a regular wage, too. That means you will need to be registered with a Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification and hold a Level 3 Exercise Referral. It would also be desirable to hold Level 2 Exercise to Music or additional fitness class qualifications.
In return, we offer a range of benefits that you'd expect from the UK's largest leisure provider:
