[Hiring] Prescribing Clinician @Second Nature

Role Description

This is an opportunity to work closely with, and under the clinical oversight of, our Principal Doctor, helping to build a safe, resilient NHS prescribing service as it continues to grow.

You'll play a key role in the day-to-day clinical delivery of our private, BSOP and Specialist Weight Management (SWMS) pathways, prescribing, reviewing complex cases, actioning MDT outcomes, and supporting our health coaches. As a trusted member of the clinical team, you'll help ensure patients receive safe, high-quality care while contributing to the ongoing development and scalability of our services.

This role offers real clinical responsibility, broad variety, and the opportunity to shape how a fast-growing digital health service delivers care.

What You'll Do

• Deliver prescribing support across our BSOP service, including clinical assessments, medication reviews, issuing prescriptions, and responding to prescribing queries in line with agreed protocols.
• Review patient eligibility using the information available to you, including Summary Care Records and GP records, online questionnaires, medical history, and biometric, self-reported and laboratory data.
• Deliver planned monthly follow-ups, monitoring adherence, response and side effects, and working with our Patient Coordinators to manage recall and safety monitoring.
• Undertake complex patient reviews and comprehensive medication assessments within SWMS, escalating cases to the MDT and consulting with the Principal Doctor where appropriate.
• Action MDT outcomes promptly and to a high clinical standard, including liaising with GPs and secondary care clinicians, conducting patient consultations and follow-up calls, and managing sensitive conversations such as medication discontinuation or treatment ineligibility.
• Provide clinical leadership within SWMS MDT meetings when the Principal Doctor is unavailable, ensuring continuity of safe and effective decision-making.
• Support the growth of our Right to Choose pathway by advising on referral triage, reviewing complex cases, and supporting colleagues with clinically sensitive patient communications.
• Act as a trusted clinical resource for health coaches across all Second Nature services, providing advice, answering clinical queries, and delivering education and training on key topics.
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of clinical protocols, prescribing guidance, training materials, and audit activities, ensuring compliance with CQC standards and wider regulatory requirements.
• Exercise sound clinical judgement, managing your own prescribing responsibilities while escalating complex or high-risk cases through the appropriate governance pathways.
