Full-Time | Remote Role | Some Evening and Weekend Working Required | 12 months fixed-term
We're seeking an ambitious Health Coach (HCPC-registered Dietitian or AfN-registered Nutritionist) to join the Specialist Weight Management Service (SWMS) at one of the UK's most exciting health-tech startups.
The ideal candidate is passionate about improving health and wellbeing, confident using digital tools, and comfortable working fully remotely. Flexibility is essential, with availability to cover some evening and Saturday appointments.
The Challenge
More than 1 in 4 adults in the UK are living with obesity; a chronic condition that often negatively impacts their physical and mental health, and therefore quality of life. Access to specialist weight management services for the treatment of obesity remains limited and varies geographically due to a lack of funding. Existing services face long waiting lists, resulting in treatment delays which can adversely affect patient outcomes.
