The Role

If you have a passion for helping people to feel fitter and healthier, see clients as individuals and want to make a difference, and not just a living, now’s the time to apply to Nuffield Health. In this entry role to our Physiology department, as an Academy Physiologist, you will;

• Deliver health assessments designed to support our clients in achieving their health and well-being goals through effective lifestyle management.
• Benefit from working alongside a multidisciplinary team of Doctors, Physiologists, Physiotherapists and other health professionals, as well as the relevant operational managers.

Training

• To ensure that you succeed in the role you will complete an in-house three week training course at the start of the role covering aspects from nutrition and exercise to cancer, pathology, emotional well-being, behaviour change and coaching techniques.
• This training will guide you through your career in Physiology and get you ready to deliver our innovative health assessments with the highest standards of care.
• This training will form part of your Level 7 Professional Diploma (MSc equivalent) to which Nuffield Health sponsors all successful applicants to complete within the first 18 months of their employment.
• However, this is only the beginning as Physiologists also have full access to our Nuffield Academy which is dedicated to the professional development of all its employees. It’s also important that you share our values.

Like us, you believe in putting clients first, so you’ll have the freedom to do what’s right for your clients, always seeking better ways of doing things. We combine the best disciplines of business with social values. We measure success not only by the profits we make but also by our ability to improve people’s health. Both rely on clients’ long-term satisfaction with the services we deliver through professionals like you. What we are looking for:

• The minimum requirement is a 2:2 Sport and Exercise Science degree, or an equivalent Bachelor of Science degree.
• You’ll be able to prove that you’ve studied human physiology, exercise, biochemistry, anatomy/bio-mechanics, psychology and nutrition.
• The practical application of this knowledge is also essential, so relevant experience is desired.
