    Description

    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.

    Enter Second Nature...

    By bringing together the latest behavioural science, psychology, technology, and the talents of our incredible team, our mission is to eradicate obesity and type 2 diabetes for all, and as part of that mission, we are aiming to increase access to effective treatment for people living with obesity.

    Second Nature provides specialist weight management services to support people living with obesity. We are looking for a Practitioner Psychologist (Health/Clinical Psychologist) to join our psychology and multi-disciplinary teams (MDT). This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in the growth of specialist weight management services in a fast-pace, startup environment.

    • Able to provide supportive, empathetic patient-centred care to patients who may have complex physical and mental health needs.

    You can work autonomously and collaboratively with a doctor-led multidisciplinary team (MDT) to oversee patient care

    • You'll confidently manage a caseload of patients; delivering psychological interventions via video calls, working with our MDT and providing psychological expertise on cases where requested.
