Healthy Lifestyle Advisor
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Healthy Lifestyle Advisor supports people to improve their health through practical guidance on weight management, physical activity, nutrition and other lifestyle changes. The role typically requires experience in health promotion, behaviour-change support or public-facing wellbeing services, with a relevant Level 3 qualification desirable. Candidates should be confident using motivational interviewing, setting achievable goals, maintaining accurate records and working with people from diverse backgrounds. Strong communication, organisation and listening skills are essential, together with the ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Travel between community venues may be required, so flexibility and, depending on the service, access to reliable transport can be expected.
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.
