Job Description

Mission At Shape Health, our mission is to empower every person to unlock their potential—physically, mentally, and emotionally. We believe that health is not just about avoiding illness, but about building energy, confidence, and focus to live life fully. By blending personal coaching, nutrition guidance, and talk therapy, we make preventive health simple, personal, and accessible. We exist to help people become the best version of themselves, one step, one habit, and one breakthrough at a time. The Role At Shape Health, being a coach isn’t about handing out quick fixes—it’s about guiding people back to the foundations of true health. You’ll help members reclaim energy, focus, and vitality by addressing what really matters: how they eat, how they move, how they rest, and how they manage stress. This role is about connection and impact. You’ll meet members where they are and walk alongside them as they build new habits and discover their own power to heal and thrive. Be a catalyst for change—help each person rewrite their health story one step at a time. Backed by a team of medical providers, therapists, and community programs, you’ll be at the center of our mission: creating real transformation through trust, accountability, and human connection. Responsibilities Build strong, trusting relationships with members through one-on-one coaching, group sessions, and group-based activities. Guide members in setting and achieving goals around nutrition, fitness activity, sleep, stress management, and overall well-being. Provide nutrition and behavior-change coaching grounded in proven approaches, helping members make dietary shifts step by step and understand how food choices affect health outcomes. Provide education and accountability while adapting plans to fit each member’s culture, lifestyle, and personal challenges. Meet with clients virtually, by phone, in their home, or out in the community. Connect members with appropriate providers, programs, and community supports; coordinate referrals and follow-up care. Support members in building health literacy and self-advocacy skills through education and coaching. Track progress on measurable health outcomes (weight, nutrition habits, blood pressure, mental well-being, etc.) and adjust plans as needed. Provide moral support and model healthy behaviors to encourage sustainable lifestyle change. Lead and support group coaching, group workout clubs, group yoga sessions, or cooking classes to strengthen community connection. Maintain accurate and timely documentation of coaching interactions in our digital platform. Collaborate with medical providers, therapists, and community health workers to ensure members receive whole-person care. Help members navigate health and social service systems, including SNAP, WIC, and other community resources.
