Specialist Nurse (Diabetes/Weight Management)

Salary Competitive

Since our inception in 2015 in Denmark, Liva has been a pioneer in the field of digital behaviour change. Our ambition is to empower 1 million people by 2030 to improve their health and well-being by preventing and managing chronic conditions through digitally-powered, evidence-based lifestyle interventions.

Headquartered in Copenhagen and London, our collaborations with healthcare systems - including the NHS, life science companies and health insurers - allow us to impact lives at scale.

We have big ambitions and, to help us achieve these we’re looking for a Specialist Nurse to join the team.


About the role

We are looking for an  experienced nurse and independent prescriber to join our multidisciplinary clinical team, and support our digital services for patients living with chronic weight-related conditions.

This is a hybrid role, combining patient care within our weight management service, with an expanded role in supporting clinical governance across Liva’s programmes.

The role sits within the Clinical and Research Team and reports to the Medical Director, working closely with the Service Operations Team. The role will collaborate across departments to ensure the safe and effective delivery of clinical services.


Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct remote patient consultations within our weight management service

  • Manage patients prescribed GLP-1 and related medications, from initiation, dose titration and ongoing monitoring

  • Act as part of an multidisciplinary team, working closely with dieticians, doctors and support staff.

  • Support the continuous improvement and effective operation of Liva’s clinical governance frameworks and activities.

  • Act as first point of escalation for clinical or prescribing concerns across Liva’s programmes

  • Support the delivery and ongoing development of Liva’s safeguarding processes, contributing to safeguarding leadership as appropriate

  • Contribute to service development and quality improvement, refining processes and supporting new pathway design.

  • Stay up to date with national guidance and ensure best practice is reflected in company policies and clinical operations.


Essential criteria

  • UK-based, with NMC registration

  • Demonstrable experience in working in weight management, diabetes and/or general practice settings

  • Independent Prescriber qualification (e.g. V300), with proven experience of active prescribing.

  • Demonstrable experience independently prescribing anti-obesity medication, including GLP1s

  • Demonstrable experience of participation in clinical governance or quality improvement activities.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

  • Experience of participation in safeguarding activities

  • Confidence with remote consulting and using electronic systems


Desirable criteria

  • Experience working in digital healthcare

  • Level 3 Adult and Child Safeguarding certification (this must otherwise be completed during onboarding)

  • Understanding of CQC regulatory framework

  • SCOPE certification


We think this role would best suit an experienced practice or diabetes/weight management nurse with additional prescribing qualifications, or an ANP with experience of chronic disease management.

This role would mostly be performed remotely with a requirement to come to our London office on occasion, and we would be open to full time or part-time (80%).

At Liva, we do not go to work just to work. We are a purpose-driven company, and we go to work every day to help people live better lives. Our purpose is in our DNA, and we are always on the lookout for talented people who are eager to evolve and build a life-changing career within global health tech.


We believe in doing business the right way. We are committed to both eliminating discrimination and encouraging diversity amongst our workforce. We are committed to developing a representative workforce at all levels, and maintaining a working environment that promotes the health and wellbeing of our employees. We will operate a fair, inclusive and transparent recruitment and selection process.

Working at
Liva Healthcare

Liva is a platform and app for people living with chronic diseases such as obesity, kohl, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.The Liva team has previously created NetDoktor and other successful startups in the health sector, and now they’re eager to disrupt the market and offer more lifestyle-related treatment than regular healthcare does, moving away from purely medical treatment traditions. This happens through advanced digital personal guidance, lifestyle and disease tracking, user forum etc. We’re a small, dedicated team of skilled individuals, and we’re very flexible. Since knowledge sharing is the easiest when working in one room, we’ve agreed to work as much as possible from the office. If we can’t hire the best of the best people, we often prefer outsourcing our tasks.We place the social element at the heart of Liva, with a blast of a Christmas lunch (this year taking place at the Tivoli amusement park) and regular team dinners too. We set quarterly goals, and upon fulfilling them we celebrate by traveling together, going for luxury dining or the like. A startup like Liva is very uncomplicated and all individuals get a lot of decision making power.The need for our platform is here, this is clear since many customers have signed up before our actual product has launched - some have even told us they’ve been waiting for a product like this for 10 years.
