Applicants should be registered with the HCPC, have a strong passion for supporting and communicating with other health professionals, excel at managing multiple priorities and be committed to working autonomously to support our team to deliver world-class Health Coaching.

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.

Our digital habit change programme – delivered digitally through a mobile app – helps people to improve their lifestyle, lose weight, and ultimately reduce their risk for conditions such as type 2 diabetes.

We’re also one of the few consumer health brands that are also actively commissioned by the NHS to help people living with type 2 diabetes and the national weight management service.

You can find out more about working with us here and here.
