6 months ago


Preston, United Kingdom Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Do you have a passion for working within the Peadiatric Department at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals? Are you a registered Nurse with an interest in Health Coaching? If so....this job may be perfect for you

We are thrilled to offer this permanent role of a Paediatric Health Coach, to join our team in providing a service to Children and Young People (CYP) aged up to 16 years old, whom have complications with their health due to excess weight. This service, funded by NHS England, is offered to CYP living across Lancashire & South Cumbria but is held within our Lancashire Teaching Hospital locality.

The service will be led by a Consultant Paediatrician with a specialist interest in endocrinology, a specialist nurse, specialist dietitian, physiotherapists and have access to a clinical psychology. The job role will include supporting MDT clinics, nurse led clinics and home/ school visits.

We will be evaluating the positive impact the service has for CYP, which in turn will provide national evidence to support the vision of the longevity of this national programme of care within the NHS.

Your transferable skills in engaging and supporting people can be utilised in empowering CYP living with complications of being overweight or obese, to make positive changes to their health and health behaviours with the aim of promoting a healthier weight.

A healthy weight coach supports people living with overweight or obesity, by:

- having conversations about health and wellbeing
- offering appropriate evidence-based information
- signposting or, where appropriate, referring to other health and weight management

services
- offering follow-up conversations during a person’s weight management journey

You will also lead on and support lifestyle change projects, both to groups and as one-to-one sessions, including weight loss programmes and food programmes linked to a medical condition e.g. diabetes, hypertension

We will be hosting clinics held at Broadoaks CDC, Leyland and the base for the team is at Royal Preston Hospital. There will also be opportunities to work agilely, task dependant as some things are utilising virtual technology.

Please Note, this role will require quite a large amount of traveling, so having access to travel is essential

We have 10000 fantastic people working hard to deliver quality services to our patients. Whatever your role, you help look after 370,000 people in our local area & give specialist care to 1.5 million people across Lancashire & Cumbria.

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.

You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path.

You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.

**For more information, please contact**:
- Rachel Jackson (Clinical Nurse Lead

Please do read the job description to gain a fuller understanding of this role.

A healthy weight coach will be able to have a conversation with a person living with overweight or obesity about weight sensitively, confidently and non-judgementally. You will use a person-centred approach to elicit a person’s knowledge, beliefs and perceptions about healthy eating, drinking and physical activity, including their motivations, barriers and enablers to change. You will employ a range of communication skills and language that is appropriate based on a person’s need.

A basic understanding of the importance of a healthy balanced diet, regular physical activity and other behaviours that may influence health and weight is fundamental to this role; by utilising evidence-based information on these topics to people seeking support. However, a healthy weight coach is not expected to be an expert in nutrition and dietetics or exercise medicine. We also have a dietitian as part of the team and you will work closely alongside them and other multi-disciplinary team members.

You will provide an initial discussion and offer ongoing support to people during their weight management journey. This can help to motivate people, as well as provide an opportunity to discuss people’s concerns or issues they may be experiencing as they make changes to their behaviour.
