Remote | Flexible hours | Fixed-term contracts (17–27 weeks)
We’re on the lookout for passionate, forward-thinking Registered Nutritionists and Dietitians to join our team of Health Coaches on a fixed-term basis who are available immediately. Whether you're looking for more flexibility, purposeful work, or the chance to make a real impact, this role delivers.
You’ll support people across the UK living with obesity and type 2 diabetes, coaching them through the Second Nature programme via our digital platform. You’ll provide behavioural support that drives long-term lifestyle change, helping people build healthier habits that stick.
If you’re excited by the idea of flexible work that fits around your lifestyle and want to be part of a mission to transform how people take control of their health, this is your chance to get involved.
We’re looking for professionals registered with the AfN or HCPC who are passionate about improving health and wellbeing, confident working autonomously, and eager to deliver world-class coaching. If you're tech-savvy, highly organised, and happy working remotely from your laptop (from the comfort of your own home!), we’d love to hear from you.
The Company
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 that 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 actively commissioned by the NHS to help people living with type 2 diabetes and the National Weight Management Service.

The Role
As a Health Coach, you'll be the heartbeat of the Second Nature programme, empowering people to take charge of their health. You’ll coach members through a 12-week journey using our digital platform, offering daily support and motivation primarily through written group chats and 1:1 messaging, with occasional voice notes and calls. This regular contact enables our coaches to support hundreds of members every step of the way.
You’ll guide members across five key pillars of behaviour change:
* Nutrition
* Physical activity
* Sleep
* Stress
* Mindset
You'll be joining a team of health coaches who do more than offer advice; you'll help build trust, encourage, and create a safe, supportive space where members feel seen, understood, and motivated to keep going.
This role supports members across a range of NHS contracts and private partnerships, including Vitality Health. While you’ll be coaching independently, you’ll have the full backing of our experienced team, tools, and training, so you can focus on what you do best: helping people change their lives for good.
After completing at least one contract, there may also be opportunities to support members on our medication-assisted programme. As part of this role, you’ll also contribute to engagement calls that enhance the member experience and keep them feeling supported throughout their journey.
