Do you have what it takes to support the next generation of fitness professionals?

About Us

We are HFE, a rapidly growing learning provider in the fitness sector. We have a reputation for excellence and it’s important to us that any prospective member of our team cares passionately about preserving and improving this reputation.

Our number one priority is to serve our customers, delivering more value than expected – this is what drives us every day.

Our courses are not just about getting a qualification – they are much more than this! Our courses provide opportunities for our students to grow in knowledge, skills, and confidence so that they can become more.

The Role

Our Career Coaches work primarily on the phone, or occasionally via Zoom, supporting the next generation of fitness professionals to identify appropriate training, qualifications and opportunities to pursue in the health and fitness sector.

Our Career Coaches are passionate and energetic professionals that genuinely care about helping our students to overcome their fears and anxieties about changing careers and joining the fitness profession.

They are focused and target driven, striving every day to support as many people as they can to realise their potential and take those all-important first steps. Career Coaches are team players that are committed to raising standards throughout the company.

Most of our Career Coaches have a strong background in the health and fitness sector, although this is not a deal breaker for passionate and positive people with the right skills, because full on the job training will be provided.

The successful candidate will receive a competitive basic salary of £23,000 per annum plus commission, with a realistic OTE of £32-35k and the opportunity to earn more.

Additionally, they will also have access to enhanced annual leave for continued service and will be eligible to undertake any of the company’s training and qualifications.
