About the role
We know that our wellbeing programme is the best on the grid however we also appreciate it can be better, that we can reach more team members and have an even greater lasting impact on individual and team performance. To do so, we are looking for a passionate Health and Wellbeing Industrial Placement.
Our wellbeing programme provides every Team member with an opportunity to optimise their individual wellbeing. Our framework focuses on four key attributes of wellbeing: Physical, Mental, Recovery and Social.

You will complete key projects during your time here to enhance the wellbeing of individuals and deliver performance to the Team.
The role will cover a broad range of activities from organisation and delivery of training through to data analytics and reporting. You will find yourself engaged with all areas of our Team across a broad spectrum of activities. No two days will be the same and you will have the opportunity to contribute towards the development of our wellbeing programme along with your own personal and professional skills.
The successful candidate
For you to support us in our ambition you will be hyper curious about human performance, health and wellbeing. You will have a passion for wellbeing that delivers performance. You will have a high drive for both success and excellence, with the ability to work well individually or as part of a team.
