A wellness-focused care team is hiring a Part-Time Remote Health Coach to work directly with clients on their health goals. The role is fully remote, part-time, and pays around $28,000 a year.
Coaches in this position work one-on-one with a caseload of clients, helping them set wellness goals that actually fit their lives and then tracking progress over time. That means regular check-ins, honest conversation about what's working and what isn't, and steady guidance as clients adjust habits around food, movement, sleep, or stress. It's more of a relationship-driven job than a paperwork job, though some documentation comes with the territory.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Meet one-on-one with clients, in person, over video, or on the phone, to set and revisit wellness goals
- Guide clients through lifestyle and behavior changes at a pace they can sustain
- Run scheduled check-ins to track progress, troubleshoot setbacks, and adjust plans
- Keep clear notes on each client's goals and progress between sessions
Take a client who wants to lower their blood pressure through diet changes but keeps sliding back into old takeout habits after a stressful week at work. Part of the coach's job is to notice that pattern early and adjust the plan before the client gives up on it entirely, rather than just repeating the same advice each session.
Education and Experience
This role requires a bachelor's degree as the baseline educational requirement. Most coaches come to it with a background in health sciences, nutrition, or a related field, paired with a recognized health or wellness coaching certification. Twelve months of relevant coaching or client-facing wellness experience is expected. If your twelve months came from a mix of part-time coaching gigs rather than one continuous role, that's generally fine as long as the work itself was comparable.
Skills
- Health or wellness coaching certification
- Motivational interviewing
- Working knowledge of nutrition basics
- Strong communication skills, written and verbal
- Comfort with goal-setting frameworks (SMART goals or similar)
If you've helped clients manage something ongoing, like adjusting eating habits around a diabetes diagnosis or working through blood pressure numbers over several months, that experience carries real weight here, even though it isn't a hard requirement. Comfort reading data from a fitness tracker or app clients already use also helps, since many progress conversations start from that data rather than the client's memory of the week.
Schedule and Pay
This is a part-time, USD-paid position with a fully remote workplace type, meaning you can work from anywhere. Annual pay is around $28,000 for part-time hours, and scheduling tends to be flexible enough to accommodate client availability rather than a fixed nine-to-five block. Naukri Mitra lists this alongside other remote healthcare roles for candidates weighing part-time versus full-time coaching work.
Benefits
- Flexible scheduling built around client sessions rather than fixed office hours
- Fully remote setup, so no commute and no location requirement
- Support toward certification renewal costs
- A path to additional hours or full-time status as caseload grows
People coming from a full-time coaching background sometimes ask how a part-time, remote version of the job actually holds up day-to-day. The honest answer is that the client relationships and the accountability don't shrink just because the hours do. Sessions still need real preparation, and check-ins still need to happen on schedule even with a lighter overall caseload.
How to Apply
Send a resume along with your current coaching certification. If you've worked with clients on chronic condition management or run group coaching sessions before, mention that directly rather than burying it in a general summary. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and interview scheduling typically occurs within a week or two of the application.
