Join Us as a Health Coach (HCPC-registered Dietitian or AfN-registered Nutritionist) with Second Nature!
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Health Coach based in Essex to become an integral part of our Specialist Weight Management Service (SWMS) at one of the UK’s most innovative health-tech startups.

The Challenge Ahead
Obesity affects over 25% of adults in the UK, impacting both physical and mental health, and overall quality of life. Unfortunately, access to specialized weight management services for obesity treatment is limited and inconsistent across regions due to funding constraints. Many existing services face long waiting times, delaying treatment and negatively influencing patient outcomes.

- As a leading B2C provider of GLP-1 medication-assisted weight loss programs, we are one of only five NICE-approved providers set to deliver these services within the NHS.
- Our team members enjoy an average tenure of 4.3 years with us.
The Role
We are looking for a Health Coach (HCPC-registered Dietitian or AfN-registered Nutritionist) to support our NHS Specialist Weight Management Service (SWMS) across Mid & South Essex (MSE). This service aids adults living with obesity and related conditions in making meaningful, sustainable lifestyle changes through a blended approach that combines in-person group sessions, remote digital coaching, and access to GLP-1 medication for eligible clients.
This is a full-time (40 hours per week), hybrid position for a fixed term of 12 months, with potential for extension based on service needs. Flexibility is required to accommodate evening and Saturday appointments.
Key Responsibilities Include:
- Facilitating group-based and one-to-one coaching sessions at various locations.
