IHUL and SC
Apply Your Expertise with Our Partner, the Institute of Healthy Urban Living
We’re excited to share an exclusive opportunity available only to Supporting Champions and Athlete Now members. As the proud partner of the Institute of Healthy Urban Living (IHUL), based in Fitzrovia, London, we are supporting IHUL in its mission to become a centre of excellence for health and performance services.
IHUL is expanding its consultancy team and is seeking both Physiologists and Nutritionists to deliver high-quality client assessments, contribute to innovative service offerings, and play a central role in developing the performance support systems available through IHUL.
This is your opportunity to work as a consultant in a vibrant multidisciplinary team, helping shape a high-quality service offering. If these roles are not filled within the Supporting Champions network, they will be advertised more widely.
Promoting Representation and Meeting Client Needs
We welcome applications from all suitably qualified practitioners. However, in response to a number of requests from clients for female practitioners—particularly for cultural and religious reasons—we are especially encouraging applications from women at this time.
This proactive approach aligns with IHUL’s and Supporting Champions’ commitment to equity, inclusive client care, and building a team that reflects the diversity of those we support. All applicants will be considered on merit, with an emphasis on professional capability and commitment to collaborative service delivery.
