We are looking for a Rehabilitation Specialist to help us build a healthier nation at our club. You will deliver Nuffield Health Rehabilitation Programmes utilizing 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, emotional wellbeing support, healthy eating, and goal setting to aid participants' recovery. The pathway will involve weekly 1-to-1s, group exercise classes (virtual and in-person), promoting goal setting and self-directed activity.

You will demonstrate leadership and influencing skills, be a good communicator, organized, and self-motivated. As part of this role, you will work collaboratively onsite, centrally, and with our Charity team and beneficiaries. You will need excellent IT skills and hold a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification, which is essential for the role.

As a Rehabilitation Specialist, you will:

1. Organize and run a series of rolling 12-week rehabilitation programmes.
2. Facilitate and deliver both live stream and in-person group exercise classes, with people that have varying degrees of abilities and physical function.
3. Promote self-directed activity using pre-recorded on-demand classes and a journal to aid participants in self-managing their condition after the 12-week Programme.
4. Re-calibrate exercises and intensities based on regular improvements demonstrated by changes in both effort and performance.
5. 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, essential in supporting our Charitable Purpose and tracking participants' progress.
6. Engage in 1-to-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.
