Are you a qualified Personal Trainer looking for a career with real purpose?

GenesisCare is launching an exciting new Exercise Medicine Clinic in Oxford, and we're looking for a passionate Exercise Oncology Specialist to join us as we build this innovative service from the ground up. This is a full time, permanent opportunity.

This is a unique opportunity to move beyond the traditional gym environment and use your expertise to help people living with and beyond cancer improve their strength, confidence, wellbeing and quality of life through prescribed exercise.

Working alongside a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, you'll play a key role in delivering personalised exercise programmes that support patients throughout their cancer journey. If you're driven by making a genuine difference and want to be part of a pioneering healthcare service, we'd love to hear from you.

Please note, this is a 22.5 hour per week vacancy.

The Role
As an Exercise Oncology Specialist, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of our Exercise Medicine Service, working under the guidance of the Exercise Clinic Lead Physiotherapist.

You'll create and deliver tailored exercise programmes, support patients both in-person and virtually, monitor progress, and help ensure every patient receives a safe, engaging and personalised experience.

What You'll Do

Why This Role is Different

You'll be joining a healthcare environment where exercise is recognised as a vital part of cancer treatment and recovery. Every day, you'll help patients rebuild strength, manage treatment side effects, improve wellbeing and regain confidence during one of the most challenging periods of their lives.

You'll also be part of an exciting new service from the very beginning, helping establish a clinic that will positively impact the lives of patients across Oxfordshire and beyond.
