Sarah Hutchings – Health and Wellbeing Physiologist (London)
I graduated from the University of Exeter in 2009 where I
studied my undergraduate BSc in Exercise and Sports Medicine and
postgraduate MSc in Exercise Medicine and Sports Injury. During my
time at University I also worked as a Fitness Instructor for
Cannons (as it was then known) and was fortunate enough to see the
transition to Nuffield Health as they took over in 2008/9. Working
within the company both before, during and after Nuffield took over
I found exciting as I could see the vast improvements from an
operational, customer, and also career potential basis that being
part of Nuffield Health brought to its employees and clients.
I worked as a fitness instructor for 8 years, 5 of which were
with Cannons/Nuffield Health. During my time as a Fitness
instructor I thoroughly enjoyed working with people, helping to
improve their health and physical performance, but once I graduated
I wanted to take it to the next level and become more involved as a
Physiologist.
I saw the job vacancy and immediately applied as I knew it was
exactly what I would thrive doing and was fortunate enough to be
offered the job in January 2010. I then began working as a Health
and Wellbeing Physiologist in February 2010.
I currently work in London and my current role involves working
with varied clients, assessing their physical health parameters and
suggesting lifestyle advice that could help improve their risk
factors for disease and optimise their daily optimal functioning. I
thoroughly enjoy working in London as it is always busy and I see a
vast spectrum of individuals, all of which require different advice
which keeps me on my toes and encourages the continued use of the
knowledge I gained during my time at university and throughout my
continued learning..
Nuffield health not only offers a plethora of job opportunities,
but also offers continued support to help progress their employees
throughout their career. Once you join Nuffield there are several
professional development courses that you can choose which, in
turn, open up so many opportunities for future positions and career
development.
Nuffield health is an extremely professional company to work for
who offer fantastic opportunities not only to develop yourself in
your current role but also to provide support for career
progression and reach your potential. I feel I am extremely lucky
to work for Nuffield and I am excited about my future within the
company.
