The Paediatric Tier 3 complications in excess weight (CEW) service uses a holistic approach to treating conditions related to obesity in children and young people.

Young people will receive 12 to 18 months of intensive treatment from the MDT with the aim to improving health complications linked to their weight.

Referrals to CEW for young people aged years old are based on the degree of obesity and the presence of comorbidities.


This post will support the Nottinghamshire out-patient clinics based at NUH and will also provide virtual support to spoke sites including Derby, Lincoln and Kings Mill.

There are also opportunities to work within the community (home and school visits) to promote inclusivity for our CEW patients, encouraging physical activity and reducing sedentary behaviours.

Working days will be Tuesday afternoon and full days Thursday and Friday


You will also support planned paediatric in-patient weekend rosters and be an integral member of our established children's Physio team based in the Nottingham Children's Hospital at the QMC campus of NUH.

Main duties of the job


You will be an expert clinical advisor within obesity and will provide assessment and advice/treatment to Children, Young people and their families who attend the East Midlands CEW Clinics.


You will have the opportunity to deliver a structured education program (with full training provided) to a cohort of CEW patients.

You will provide education and training within the MDT


You will work within an experienced MDT (including consultants, clinical fellow, dietitian, social worker, specialist nurse, clinical psychologist, family support worker and physio technical instructor).


You will work in partnership with the Leicestershire Physiotherapist to identify, develop and provide innovative ways to address obesity among our young population.

As such, service evaluation will be a key element to allow the team to showcase the success of the service.

You will work alongside a band 4 Physio Technical Instructor who you will provide clinical supervision to.


The CEW service is currently within a pilot stage and there are opportunities to collect, analyse and present data at both a national and local level.

Working for our organisation


The Nottingham Children's Hospital (NCH) is based at the Queens Medical Centre campus and is part of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH).

We provide In-patient and out-patient care for children up to the age of 19 years old.
