Youth Health Service (Weigh to Go Programme) Glasgow, Scotland
Job description
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

The post will deliver the Weigh to Go programme in 2 Glasgow City based venues from 6:30-9:30 pm. In addition to this, there’s a follow up/wrap around role attached to this post (3hrs day time). There is some flexibility when these are worked and this can be discussed with the successful candidate. Please contact the Weigh to Go Coordinator to discuss. The Weigh to Go service is delivered in 18 venues across the bOard area, 10 of which are in Glasgow City. These are embedded in the Youth Health Service model of care which provides clinical and non-clinical support for young people. Whilst the Weigh to Go component is focused on the weight management programme, this is an opportunity to work within an early intervention service as part of a multi-disciplinary team assessing and planning care in areas such as sexual & mental health, risk taking behaviours as well as some areas of physical health. The overall YHS also offers support around non clinical issues such as housing, financial inclusion and training and employment. You will liaise with key professionals and 3rd sector colleagues to support the young person work towards positive outcomes. Experience of working with young people is an advantage, as is experience in making sound clinical judgements. The ability to plan, organise and prioritise work and excellent communication are key skills for this post. The core team are based in Gartnavel Royal hospital and the service is delivered in a variety of venues across the city.
