About the Project
Numan is launching a study to design and evaluate a novel, autonomy-supportive behavioural intervention for patients starting GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy for obesity. Built on Numan's validated MyBarriers Questionnaire (MBQ) – a five-phenotype cognitive behavioural tool that identifies individual barriers to weight management at treatment initiation – the intervention will be delivered as a 6-week virtual group coaching series. It aims to improve medication adherence at third medication refill through personalised, autonomy-supportive behavioural support, and will be evaluated using a randomised test vs. control design (c.750 patients per arm).
The Role
Reporting to the Head of Clinical Research, this is a unique role at the heart of this research project. You will operationally coordinate the study, support the design of the intervention alongside the Senior Behavioural Medicine team, and deliver group coaching sessions to intervention arm participants.
The role suits an experienced behavioural health practitioner who combines clinical credibility and coaching skill with the operational capability to coordinate a research study. You will lead on ensuring the intervention is designed to the highest behavioural science standards, delivered with fidelity, and that all processes run smoothly from recruitment through to study closure. There will also be scope to support other projects across the Clinical Research function.
The Team
You will be an integral part of the Behavioural Medicine team, reporting directly to the Head of Clinical Research while working collaboratively with Senior Behavioural Medicine specialists, data science cohorts, clinical safety leads, and external project partners.
