Personal Training Tutor and Assessor Jobs

Are you an experienced personal trainer with a desire to help the next generation of PT's? if so, we are keen to hear from you!

What We're Looking For

HFE is a leading training provider to the health and fitness sector and we’re expanding our reach in and around the north west, particularly Manchester.

We’re looking for passionate, energetic and experienced fitness instructors and personal trainers based in and around the Manchester areas to join our rapidly expanding teaching and assessing team. The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate that they have the ability to help us realise our ambitious vision by delivering the highest standard of quality in the active leisure sector.

To help drive our growth and maintain our exacting standards, we’re looking for people who share our philosophy and who are prepared to go the extra mile again and again to serve our customers.

Our Vision & Courses

We believe in people and their potential. We are absolutely committed to providing an environment in which people can develop their knowledge, grow their skills and expand their opportunities.

Every day, we work tirelessly to make our good better and our better the best it can be. We embrace opportunities to improve and we recognise that this is a constant and never-ending process. This is how excellence becomes habitual!

All of our courses lead to internationally recognised qualifications. That said, we believe that it’s not so important to focus on what a learner gets from their qualification, but rather, what they become. Hence our focus, ‘become more’.

The Role

The role will involve teaching and assessing the practical aspects of our personal training qualifications from one or more of our regional training venues in Manchester.

You will need to teach the course in accordance with the timetables, lesson plans and resources we supply, although you will also have the autonomy and opportunity to make the content your own and draw upon your own professional experiences.

As a new tutor, you will initially be paired with our more experienced Senior Tutors who will provide all the on the job training needed to enable you to teach independently.

The role is a freelance and self-employed position and work is allocated to tutors based on their availability and skillset. Most of our courses are delivered at weekends although mid-week opportunities are also available.

Our current rates of pay are as follows:

£165.00 per day – Level 2 Courses
£185.00 per day – Level 3 Courses
£200.00 per day – Level 4 Courses

Note: Expenses and enhancements are also covered as required. Rates of pay are reviewed annually in-line with the consumer price index.

Your Skills & Experiences

  • have at least 2 years’ experience of working in the personal training sector, preferably in a variety of disciplines (gym-based, home-based, outdoors etc).

  • be competent at using a variety of functional training modalities, including kettlebell training, suspension training and foam rolling.

  • be a passionate and energetic personal trainer with a genuine hunger to help others realise their potential and increase their career prospects.

  • be service-focused and willing to do 'whatever it takes' to exceed the customer's expectations.

  • possess strong communication skills, particularly those softer skills, being able to demonstrate sensitivity and empathy as required.

Your Qualifications

  • Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training (or equivilant)

  • A relevant teaching qualification - may consider applicants working towards (e.g. Award in Education and Training, PTTLS, DTTLS, CTTLS, AET, Cert Ed, PGCE)

  • A relevant vocational assessing qualification - may consider applicants working towards (e.g. D32/33, A1/A2, CAVA)


Finally, you must be able to commit to HFE exclusively in a commercial capacity – we do not employ tutors who work for other commercial training providers. Unfortunately this is non-negotiable.

Applications from those in the employ of Colleges, Universities or other FE establishments will however be considered. In return, you will be rewarded with regular work, unlimited training opportunities, the privilege of working with likeminded professionals and the pride of knowing that you are making a real and meaningful difference to the lives of our graduates.
