Healthy Lifestyle Advisor

Your Health Notts/ABL Health
Nottinghamshire (Office based in Mansfield)

ABL Health and Nottinghamshire County Council are partnering to deliver an Integrated Wellbeing Service across Nottinghamshire called Your Health Notts. This transformative service will play a central role in system change, bringing previously separate lifestyle behaviour change services together into one holistic service. It seeks to work collaboratively with communities to support the transformation of services for the local population. The service will provide integrated behaviour support for smoking cessation, weight management, alcohol reduction, physical activity and falls prevention, all embedded in sustainable behaviour change and positive wellbeing.

You will be a ‘Healthy Lifestyle Advisor’ for Nottinghamshire’s Integrated Wellbeing Service Your Health Notts, delivering nutrition and physical activity sessions. The successful candidate will deliver engaging, evidence-based weight management programmes to adults both in community settings and virtually, supporting individuals through healthy eating guidance, physical activity promotion, behaviour change techniques, and exercise delivery. Working with a client-centred, non-judgemental approach, you will utilise motivational interviewing and positive psychology to empower service users to achieve sustainable lifestyle changes, including the use of SMART goal setting.

Responsibilities include conducting anthropometric and wellbeing assessments, managing and monitoring a caseload, supporting triage within the Integrated Wellbeing Service, and directing clients to appropriate lifestyle interventions while tracking their progress. You will deliver health promotion activities across a range of localities, contribute to training and supporting new staff and volunteers, develop curriculum resources, and build strong community partnerships to increase referrals and meet local needs.
