Healthy Lifestyle Adviser Emergency Department Lifestyle Pilot
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Healthy Lifestyle Adviser will support an Emergency Department lifestyle pilot by identifying patients who may benefit from healthier living interventions, providing brief advice on smoking, physical activity, diet, alcohol and weight management, and signposting people to appropriate services. The role requires strong communication, listening and motivational-interviewing skills, accurate record keeping, confidentiality and the ability to work collaboratively with emergency-care and community teams. Candidates are expected to be organised, empathetic, non-judgmental and confident engaging people from varied backgrounds. Experience in health improvement, behaviour change, public health, NHS services or community wellbeing is likely to be valued, together with relevant training or willingness to complete it.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
