We are Health and Fitness Education (HFE), an award-winning provider of training and qualifications in the fitness sector. We are actively seeking a highly-dedicated, passionate and enthusiastic fitness professional with a specialization in exercise referral to join our rapidly expanding teaching and assessing team.
We offer a wide range of fitness-industry qualifications throughout the UK, including the Level 3 Diploma in Exercise Referral.
The successful candidate must demonstrate their ability to deliver high-quality training, maintain outstanding customer service and align with our philosophy. We are looking for someone who is committed to going above and beyond to serve our customers and support our growth, in order to uphold our impeccable standards.
The Role
Are you an experienced exercise referral specialist with a desire to help the next generation of trainers and fitness instructors? If so, we are keen to hear from you!
The role will involve teaching and assessing the practical aspects of our exercise referral qualifications from one or more of our regional training venues throughout the UK.
You will need to teach the course in accordance with the timetables, lesson plans and resources we supply, although you will also have the autonomy and opportunity to shape the customers’ experience by using your expert knowledge and drawing upon your own professional experiences.
As a new tutor, you will initially be paired with our more experienced Senior Tutors who will provide all the on the job training needed to enable you to teach independently.
The role is a freelance and self-employed position and work is allocated to tutors based on their availability and skillset. Most of our courses are delivered at weekends although mid-week opportunities may also be available.
The current rates of pay are as follows:
£165.00 per day – Level 3 Courses (including Exercise Referral)
£185.00 per day – Level 4 Courses
Note: Expenses and enhancements are also covered as required. Rates of pay are reviewed annually in-line with the consumer price index.
Our Vision & Courses
We believe in people and their potential. We are absolutely committed to providing an environment in which people can develop their knowledge, grow their skills and expand their opportunities.
Every day, we work tirelessly to make our good better and our better the best it can be. We embrace opportunities to improve and we recognise that this is a constant and never-ending process. This is how excellence becomes habitual!
All of our courses lead to internationally recognised qualifications. That said, we believe that it’s not so important to focus on what a learner gets from their qualification, but rather, what they become. Hence our focus, ‘become more’.
Your Skills & Experience
have at least 2 years’ experience of working in the health and fitness sector, preferably relating to the planning and delivery of exercise referral programmes.
have knowledge and experience supporting referred clients with chronic illnesses and conditions, including but not limited to; Asthma, Osteoporosis, COPD, Obesity, Hypertension and Diabetes.

possess strong communication skills, particularly those softer skills, being able to demonstrate sensitivity and empathy as required.
Your Qualifications
Level 3 Diploma in Exercise Referral (or equivalent)
A relevant teaching qualification - may consider applicants working towards (e.g. Award/Certificate/Diploma in Education and Training, PTLLS, DTLLS, CTLLS, Cert Ed, PGCE)
A relevant vocational assessing qualification - may consider applicants working towards (e.g. D32/33, A1/A2, CAVA, AVRA)
Finally, you must be able to commit to HFE exclusively in a commercial capacity – we do not employ tutors who work for other commercial training providers. Unfortunately, this is non-negotiable.
Applications from those in the employ of Colleges, Universities or other FE establishments will however be considered. In return, you will be rewarded with regular work, unlimited training opportunities, the privilege of working with likeminded professionals and the pride of knowing that you are making a real and meaningful difference to the lives of our graduates.
