Job Description

The Campus Recreation Wellness Program is hiring Wellness Leaders who are skilled or certified in activities that enhance various aspects of student, faculty, and staff wellness at UNC Asheville. We view wellness as multi-dimensional, and therefore we seek to offer a variety of class types and formats. Prior to being hired, you should already have certification in and/or be highly skilled in the type of session/activity you would like to lead.

Examples of what a Wellness Leader may lead include, but are not limited to...

Yoga instruction
Weight-lifting/strength-based instruction
Spin/cycle instruction
Guided meditation
Aquatic exercise instruction
Dance (various formats)
Wellness-related literature book club
Guided Fitness Center tours
Walking club

Wellness Leaders should plan on hosting their session once or twice weekly at most and once monthly at least. You will work with your direct supervisor to create a regular plan.

Applicants of any background and with any skill or certification are encouraged to apply. If you have questions about this opportunity, please email Corey Smith at csmith18@unca.edu.

Required Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

* For plenty of possible class types, a "certification" would never be applicable (for example, there is no Walking certification to lead a Walking Club, but we would seek a high level of knowledge about UNCA grounds and conversational ability), so do not let lack of a certification hold you back from applying

Have certification in or be skilled in an activity related to wellness
Lead small and large group sessions with inclusive and motivational practices
Have the ability to commit to leading scheduled activity at least on a month to month basis
Appreciate differences in ability and background of class participants, modify activity as needed
Respond appropriately to emergencies by following established emergency action protocols
Attend regularly scheduled meetings
Active certification in a skill may be required depending on the class you would like to lead, but in many cases may not be required
Ability to plan a session and keep activity fresh from session to session
