Spire Southampton Hospital is recruiting for a Nutrition Advisor to join our specialist weight management service that is responsible for supporting patients through a referred weight loss programme. This role is permanent and home based, set up with everything you need, with a small requirement for travel to Southampton for training.
'The Weigh Ahead' is a Specialist Tier 3 Weight Management Service, winning an Association for the Study of Obesity (ASO) best practice award in 2018. We provide an intensive level of support to patients through a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals. Delivered by Spire Southampton and run remotely via video-link and face to face in several locations across Southampton, Hampshire, Dorset and Isle of Wight, we provide a service to NHS patients referred by their GP.
The programme is tailored to specific needs over 6-12 months and incorporates the required elements of evidence-based interventions, supporting patients who fully engage to achieve a weight loss of at least 5% of their excess body weight and sustain this over the years ahead. The programme also aims to assist patients in meeting their personal health improvement goals and supporting them in making vital lifestyle changes in preparation for bariatric surgery.
