Health & Wellbeing class assistant

We have an exciting opportunity for someone to support our Health & Wellbeing team. This team offers physical activity support to people who are living with a long term medical condition and have been referred by a local health professional. We deliver these sessions from our centres throughout East Lothian.

This opportunity would fit well for someone with an exercise background, or has had lived experience using physical activity as as a tool to manage their own long term condition.

Our classes are 45 - 60 minutes and support a range of different health conditions over a 12 week period.


Within this role we would be looking for someone to support the group through their 12 weeks. This could be helping them sign in at reception, directing people to the class location or a friendly chat before and after the session. Someone who enjoys being around people, feels confident having positive conversations and is a good listener would enjoy this role. We strive to create a safe physical activity environment for people making changes to their health.
