Fitness Instructor

Active Together is a multimodal prehabilitation and rehabilitation service that has been developed by world leading academics and practitioners at the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC) at Sheffield Hallam University and funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research.

The Active Together Programme is designed to prepare people with cancer for, and recover from, treatment quickly and to assist them to maintain healthy lifestyles after their cancer diagnosis. Further, the research evidence shows that exercise, part of the Active Together Service, can improve survival and quality of life of cancer patients.

The Active Together Service in Hull is collaboration between Yorkshire Cancer Research and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH), working alongside researchers from Sheffield Hallam University to develop and evaluate the service. The Active Together Service is delivered by a multidisciplinary team including Physiotherapists, Fitness Instructors, Dietitians, and Psychologists, delivering high-quality, patient-focused care.

Reporting to the Lead Fitness Instructor, the Fitness Instructor will be responsible for delivering the physical activity component of the Active Together programme; supporting and advising on a range of fitness activities / services to develop and deliver a rehabilitation service for adults with a cancer diagnosis; working collaboratively to deliver a multidisciplinary, inclusive and responsive service, ensuring customer service excellence and responding to service user diversity.
