NHSHealth & justice workSocial prescribing link workers are referring patients to community fitness coaches right now. Your safeguarding record and lived experience are exactly what they're looking for — here's how to get on their list.
GPs refer patients to community coaches instead of — or alongside — medication. Register with your local Primary Care Network (PCN) as a fitness provider and GPs in your area refer clients directly to your sessions. This is recurring, paid work.
The NHS Digital Weight Management Programme commissions coaches to deliver 12-week lifestyle programmes for adults with obesity, diabetes or hypertension. Your fitness background + your story = a unique offer they can't get from a gym chain.
NHS England's Health & Justice Framework explicitly calls for coaches with lived experience from the criminal justice system. Your background is not a barrier — it's your qualification.
