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

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.
As part of this role, you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to coaching calls and webinars that enhance the member experience, keep them feeling supported throughout their journey, and provide an opportunity for you to develop your own coaching skills.
