Belong to something. Believe in something. Strive for something. UHP creates professionals, builds leaders, and reveals purpose. We’re looking for people to join our team who believe this mission is worth showing up for every day.
UHP is a veteran-focused education and leadership development organization based on a scenic 800-acre campus in Northwest Arkansas.
The UHP School of Health & Performance offers program tracks in personal training, health coaching, and culinary nutrition. At the UHP Skilled Trades Institute, students earn the certifications necessary to launch careers in high-demand trades. Leadership development is baked into every program.
We also work with a network of employer and industry partners to open career pathways for our graduates. While we can't guarantee employment, everything we do is designed to give service members and veterans a real path toward meaningful careers.
Veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses are strongly encouraged to apply.
WHY UHP
At UHP, you are joining more than a company — you are helping build something designed to create lasting impact.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Contribute to a mission larger than yourself
- Help shape and build new systems and programs
- Work alongside passionate and purpose-driven people
- Directly impact the lives of veterans and future generations
- Be part of building the future workforce
The Opportunity
UHP is expanding its Integrative Health Coaching program and is seeking multiple professionals to join our instructional team in Northwest Arkansas.
We are hiring across two instructional levels: Lead Instructor (IHC 1) and Assistant Instructor (IHC 3). Each level carries a distinct scope of responsibility and qualification requirements within the program.
The progression is straightforward. IHC 1 leads. IHC 3 assists and develops.
Certification: An active National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) credential is required for the Lead Instructor role. Candidates actively pursuing certification may be considered for Assistant Instructor.
Regardless of level, our instructors play an important role in helping students develop the practical coaching skills, professional judgment, self-awareness, confidence, and presence necessary to positively impact the lives of others.
Our approach is highly experiential. This is not a traditional lecture based teaching environment. Students learn through coaching practice, discussion, reflection, feedback, real world application, and personal development.
Candidates will be considered for the instructor level that best aligns with their credentials, education, coaching experience, instructional background, demonstrated competencies, and program needs.
