An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ambitious person to join our weight management team at Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. The Our Healthier South East London ICS commissions us to provide a Tier 3 weight management service in Lambeth, Bromley, Bexley, Lewisham and Southwark. Additionally, we have Tier 2 services across some of our boroughs. Some of which specialise in culturally tailored programmes including those for Black African and Black Caribbean communities. We are looking for someone to help across all of our obesity services here at GSTT.

Our close-knit team of eleven Assistants are key and valued members of the wider multidisciplinary team delivering our weight management interventions.

This is an advanced-level dietetic assistant post. You must have experience of delivering behaviour change interventions to groups of patients with complex obesity, and be confident using virtual platforms. You should have experience of delivering interventions to people from diverse backgrounds. You must have a developed understanding of weight bias and stigma in both healthcare and everyday life.

You can choose to work remotely from home for some of the time and from the hospital, delivering the online interventions, as well as delivering face-to-face groups at community sites across South East London. These community sites include, but are not limited to, Brixton, Elephant and castle, Beckenham Beacon, New Cross.

You will work 09:00-17:00 on 3 days a week. You will deliver early evening groups on up to 2 days a week, on these days you will start later (11:30-19:30). This role includes some Saturday morning work (up to 1-2 Saturdays per month). We have flexible working here at GSTT.

You will provide administrative and clinical support to dietitians, physiotherapists, doctors and the psychology teams.

You will deliver group interventions yourself virtually and face to face across South East London. You will be named coach for set groups, and as well as facilitating peer support, will respond to queries raised, and liaise with GPs.You will have a 'health coach' role on our GSTT HealthHub App. This means you will have patients assigned to you, and will provide online chat function support to these patients online.

You will play a key role in collection of outcome data from our service. In addition, the post holder will actively be involved in the Trust's clinical governance programme and quality agenda framework for ensuring continuing professional development, audit and research activities within this specialist area.

We are the largest Dietetics Department in the UK, employing over 150 dietitians, dietetic assistants, psychologists, nutrition nurses, administrators, pathway coordinators, project managers and operational leads.

We actively encourage and support learning and development. We have an active health and wellbeing team, and a working group developing sustainability across our range of functions and services.

As part of the King's Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre we actively promote audit and research, and there will be opportunities for you to be involved with projects.
