What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Health Coach position at HBD International?
HBD is an award winning provider of on-site workplace health, wellness, and injury prevention programs. We are seeking a qualified candidate for an ongoing part-time health educator / health coaching position in Battle Creek, MI.
This role is in a manufacturing environment. Our health coaches work inside the manufacturing plant and can spend up to an hour or more at a time on their feet.
We anticipate working onsite approximately 2-3 times per week with some remote admin and meetings. Average weekly hours will likely be 8-15 hours per week.
No weekend work is expected.
HBD's programs have a "total population" approach. We seek to engage and involve all employees in our health promotion initiatives and we use a coaching model where coaches move around our client's workplace, proactively approaching and engaging everyone to briefly discuss each individual's health goals. Our goal is to provide personally relevant information to inspire practical and sustainable health behavior change across a diverse population.
As such, we need knowledgeable and qualified health coaches with excellent communication and time management skills so that they are comfortable and efficient in engaging large numbers of people across a diverse population. Coaches need strong health education or experience so that they can adapt health information to be relevant for people at varying stages of interest and behavioral readiness.
The successful candidate will often work independently but will be part of a local or regional team of coaches and will report to a local Team Leader. Must be able to self-manage, work independently, problem-solve, communicate professionally with local client management, and must be able to keep accurate records and complete timely online data entry.
Other activities may include, but are not limited to:
- Small or large group presentations or public speaking
- Conducting finger-stick Biometric screenings
- Preparing interactive displays or table-top education exhibits
- Assisting client employees with accessing our web portal and completing surveys
- Computer use, data entry, report writing or other record-keeping
- Participating in HBD conference video calls and local team meetings
Hours and days can be flexible and mostly self-managed, but will be on a varying schedule which will require the candidate to have flexibility including the ability to routinely work early mornings or late evenings in order to cover the client's shift workers or to be present at client employee meetings.
There may be future opportunities to build hours or to work towards full-time and benefits, but there is no set timeline for this and candidates should not apply with an expectation that they have a defined timeline to full-time. Full-time progression is dependent on local business growth and demonstrated performance.
This part-time position does not include benefits.
