About the Role

We are acting on behalf of ABL Health Ltd—a dynamic, CQC-registered community health organisation dedicated to reducing health inequalities—to recruit a passionate Healthy Lifestyle Advisor for their One You Kent Service.

• Use a client-centred, evidence-based approach incorporating motivational interviewing, positive psychology, and SMART goal setting.

• Provide support for individuals who may not yet be ready for structured weight management groups, helping them build motivation and make gradual lifestyle improvements.

2. Community Engagement & Service Delivery

• Play an active role in community engagement and partnership working to promote services, drive referrals, and reach hard-to-reach groups.

• Contribute to multidisciplinary assessments, care planning, and service development by co-producing materials and submitting case studies.

• Maintain accurate records, meet data requirements, and comply with organisational governance standards.

• Qualifications: Educated to degree level or possessing relevant equivalent experience, alongside a CIMSPA (previously REPS) Level 2 Gym Instructor/Group Exercise award (or equivalent, or willingness to work towards).

• Experience: Practical experience delivering group or 1-to-1 behaviour change interventions for adults, implementing health promotion/public health initiatives in community settings, and working with hard-to-reach groups to tackle health inequalities.

• Requirements: The ability to travel independently across the organisational footprint, work flexibly (including evenings and weekends as needed), and successfully complete an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

Desirable Criteria

• A degree in nutrition (eligible for UKVRN registration), exercise, psychology, public health, or a related field; or a sports coaching qualification.

• Prior experience delivering specialist weight management or health interventions to children, young people, and adults.
