At Nuffield Health the UK's largest healthcare charity, everything we give our patients, members and customers would not be possible without you. Your passion, warmth, and drive to make a difference are what we seek. We want to build a healthier nation.
We are looking for a Rehabilitation Specialist to deliver Nuffield Health Rehabilitation Programmes using the unique Nuffield Health pathway, championing the Charitable Purpose. This role will play a crucial part in Nuffield’s long‑term vision for clinical rehabilitation and will require the Rehabilitation Specialist to undertake remote (digital) and in‑person facilitation of exercise, emotion wellbeing support, healthy eating, and goal setting to aid the participants’ recovery.

As a Rehabilitation Specialist you will:
* Organise and run a series of rolling 12‑week rehabilitation programmes.
* Facilitate and deliver both live stream and in‑person group exercise classes, with people that have varying degrees of abilities and physical function.
* Promote self‑directed activity using pre‑recorded on‑demand classes and a journal which will aid participants in self‑managing their condition after the 12‑week programme.
* Re‑calibrate exercises and intensities based on regular improvements demonstrated by changes in both effort and performance.
* Identify any deterioration of participants and if necessary follow internal escalation processes, ensuring reporting is processed within a specific timeframe and that outcome data is accurately captured, which is essential in supporting our Charitable Purpose and tracking and monitoring participants’ progress.
* Engage in 1:1 telephone conversations each week with every participant to offer coaching in terms of setting short‑term and long‑term goals, understanding restrictions, monitoring progress, offering emotional wellbeing support, and empowering self‑directed activity.
Skills required:
* Problem‑solving and diagnostic skills
* Organisational ability
* Effective decision‑making skills
* Time and resource management

Benefits:
We want you to love coming to work, feeling healthy, happy and valued. We offer a benefits package that includes free gym membership, health assessments, retail discounts and pension options.
