You’ll design and embed the systems and processes that enable us to scale high-quality coaching.

If you’re a confident, thoughtful leader with experience building and managing high-performing teams, a genuine passion for health and wellbeing, and a drive to make meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.

At Second Nature, we’re on a mission to make healthy living astonishingly easy — and to eradicate type 2 diabetes and obesity through world-class digital health coaching.

What you’ll do

Lead and support our health coaching team (nutritionists and dietitians): Manage a team of remote health coaches, creating a culture of trust, accountability, and continuous improvement

Coach development: Deliver regular feedback and coaching to help team members grow in confidence, skill, and impact
Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with fellow Health Coach Managers, Operations Managers, Quality Managers, and teams across Product, NHS, and Partnerships to drive innovation and alignment

What we’re looking for

Proven people management experience (3+ years) with a track record of developing and supporting teams
Strong operational background - able to use data to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement, and translate insights into actionable solutions
Excellent communication and feedback skills, able to inspire, support, and drive accountability
Proactive, solution-oriented, and resilient - not afraid to roll up your sleeves to make things happen
Proven ability to drive continuous improvement by challenging existing ways of working and introducing new workflows or best practices
Passion for health, wellbeing, and behaviour change, and excitement about the role technology can play in transforming lives
Confident working both autonomously and collaboratively in a fast-paced, remote-first environment
Strong tech literacy and comfortable working from a laptop 5 days per week (Monday to Friday), 40 hours per week

Nice to have:

Background in nutrition, dietetics, or health coaching (HCPC or AfN registration welcome but not required)
Experience in a startup, healthcare, or digital health setting
Familiarity with behaviour-change frameworks (CBT, NLP, or motivational interviewing)

Working at Second Nature

We embrace a hybrid model that balances flexibility with connection:

London-based: 1–2 days per week in the office
Remote (UK-based): Once per month in the office

This approach allows for meaningful collaboration and space to do focused work.

The Company

Enter Second Nature.

We’re here to help people take control of their health. By bringing together the latest behavioural science, psychology, technology, and the talents of our incredible team, our mission is to eradicate the global epidemic of chronic lifestyle diseases once and for all.

Our habit-change programme – delivered digitally through mobile and web apps – helps people to transform their lifestyle, lose weight, and ultimately reduce their risk for serious conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
