You will provide nutritional and lifestyle interventions to people living with obesity to support them to make sustainable dietary and behaviour changes, in collaboration with the MDT. You'll be using evidence-based health coaching techniques, such as motivational interviewing, goal setting and behaviour change frameworks. Whilst it is important to be able to work autonomously, you will receive comprehensive training. You will also have access to clinical supervision and support from senior clinicians.

This post is full-time (40 hours/week) and fixed-term, with flexible hours and a view to extend based on the needs of the service. You'll work remotely for the majority of your week, with regular in-person days at our South London delivery sites to run face-to-face group sessions. The role requires working some early evenings per week and occasional Saturdays as and when needed to support our NHS contracts.

What You'll Do

• Conduct independent, remote clinical assessments via video call/telephone to allocate service users to the most appropriate treatment pathways
• Deliver digital group-based and one-to-one interventions to help service users change dietary and lifestyle behaviours
• Facilitate in-person group sessions at our South London sites
• Support service users across both medicated and non-medicated programmes
• Work closely with the MDT, attending regular meetings to review, monitor and optimise service user care
• Participate in clinical supervision to discuss complex or high-risk cases
• Identify and appropriately manage clinical risk, including safeguarding concerns
• Maintain CPD, clinical supervision, and registration requirements (HCPC) in line with best practice standards
• Ensure all patient data is handled with strict confidentiality, following Data Protection Act and GDPR requirements
• Contribute to innovation projects, service evaluation, and ongoing programme development at Second Nature
