Bank | 5–40 Hours per Week (Part-Time to Full-Time) | Fully Remote | Some Evening and Weekend Working Required
We're looking for a HCPC-registered Dietitian or Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) to join our bank team as an Assessment Specialist within our Specialist Weight Management Service.
In this role, you'll assess people living with obesity as they enter our service, helping to decide which intervention pathway suits them best. You'll work as part of a multidisciplinary team within our Specialist Weight Management Service (SWMS).
You can choose anything from 5 hours a week up to full-time (40 hours/week) within our operational hours. You're paid for the hours you're scheduled to work, not per patient seen, so you'll still be paid if a patient doesn't attend (DNA).
This is a fully remote role. All assessments take place over video call, and you can be based anywhere in the UK. Flexibility is required to support some early evenings and Saturdays as and when needed to support our NHS contracts.
Training and support: Whilst it's important to be able to work autonomously, you'll receive comprehensive training, plus regular clinical supervision and support from senior clinicians.
About Second NatureAt Second Nature, we’re on a mission to eradicate obesity and type 2 diabetes by combining science, clinical rigour, and personalised member experiences.
We're now the UK's largest digital-health provider to the NHS, having been running for over 12 years.
After many years of loss making, we've been profitable and sustainable for the last few years, allowing us to make better medium and long-term decisions for the product, internal systems, and our team. It's an exciting and positive time to be joining the company.
If you're a compassionate, evidence-based clinician with experience in weight management, a genuine passion for health and wellbeing, and a drive to make meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.
We have a very high-performing team at Second Nature. We'd describe the culture as a blend of:
- People who are smart, kind, and fun
- People who take the work seriously, but don't take themselves seriously
- People who are very mission driven
- People who do what's best for the company
Second Nature is very fast paced, with minimal bureaucracy. It’s chaotic and it feels like there are always fires burning. But things get done quickly. Some personality types thrive in this environment, and some don’t.
If you're excited by working with a team where everybody is genuinely excellent, Second Nature could be a great fit for you.
Summarised in a recent 2026 quote from a team member:"Everyone has a strong work ethic, works really hard and genuinely cares about the work they do. That’s a lovely and inspiring work environment to work in where everyone around you is so passionate about what they do."
