Health and Wellbeing Coach – Temporary Contract (12 Months)
We adopt a ‘name blind’ approach to shortlisting. Recruiting managers will not have access to personal information, including your name and contact details, until a shortlisting decision has been made—please note this also includes any CV uploaded. Equality monitoring information is not accessible by recruiting managers at any stage.
About the Role
A temporary position has arisen to join the Kirklees Personalised Care team.
About the Team
Personalised Care provides individuals with the control and choice over their mental and physical health that they expect in other aspects of life. This programme is a core element of the NHS Long Term Plan, helping people with:
- Long-term illness and complex needs
- Mental health challenges
- Social issues impacting health and wellbeing
It empowers people to make informed decisions about their health and live the life they want to design—aligned with their personal values.
You’ll work within the Personalised Care Team of the Mast Primary Network (PCN). This network covers five GP practices in Kirklees, including Scissett, Denby Dale, Skelmanthorpe, Shepley, Lepton, Kirkheaton, and Kirkburton, working collaboratively to improve local healthcare provision alongside NHS, local authority, and voluntary sector partners.
Role Overview
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
