The Second Nature Story
The Challenge
Obesity has become a global epidemic; in the UK, we spend £9 billion a year alone on diseases like type 2 diabetes (that's 10% of the NHS budget). What's shocking is most of this is preventable - through sustained lifestyle and habit change.
Enter Second Nature.
We're here to help people take control of their health. By bringing together behavioural science, technology, and incredible people, our grand mission is to eradicate the global epidemic of chronic lifestyle diseases once and for all.
About Us
- 250,000+ lives positively changed through accessible, evidence-based healthcare
- 7,000+ Trustpilot reviews with an 'Excellent' rating from our members
- One of the UK's fastest-growing digital health companies, with ambitious plans for continued growth
- Trusted by the NHS and Vitality Health, with commissioned services that meet the highest standards of clinical quality
- A leader in GLP-1 weight management, and among the few providers approved to deliver these services within the NHS as the programme expands
- A place where people build careers, not just jobs - our average employee tenure is 4+ years, reflecting our culture, mission, and opportunities for growth
The Role
This is an opportunity to work closely with, and under the clinical oversight of, our Principal Doctor, helping to build a safe, resilient NHS prescribing service as it continues to grow.
You'll play a key role in the day-to-day clinical delivery of our private, BSOP and Specialist Weight Management (SWMS) pathways, prescribing, reviewing complex cases, actioning MDT outcomes, and supporting our health coaches. As a trusted member of the clinical team, you'll help ensure patients receive safe, high-quality care while contributing to the ongoing development and scalability of our services.
This role offers real clinical responsibility, broad variety, and the opportunity to shape how a fast-growing digital health service delivers care.
