Health Check Practitioner

We are looking for a person passionate about health and wellbeing to join our team at LiveWell Dorset. 

LiveWell Dorset is a unique health improvement service which applies the latest behavioural science and technology to help individuals take control of their own health and wellbeing. The service supports individuals to become more active, drink less, stop smoking and maintain a healthy weight and we aim to promote the early identification of cardiovascular disease and the other associated conditions. 

Cardiovascular diseases are amongst the preventable forms of non-communicable diseases, of which England faces an epidemic that includes heart disease, cancer, diabetes and dementia. Supporting people to recognise they are at risk and make changes is at the heart of what we do. 

We are looking for people to help us deliver NHS health checks and behaviour change interventions in one to one settings across Dorset and BCP.

• have access to range of training opportunities which will help with your personal development and career progression 

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organisation where different skills, perspectives, and backgrounds strengthen both our council and the communities we serve.
