The successful candidate will play a leading role in the current and future expansion of the Obesity Management Service, at a time when increased understanding and resourcing for obesity management is resulting in more effective and holistic treatment strategies, including emerging new pharmacotherapies and bariatric surgery interventions.

There has been an accelerated evolution of service delivery over the last 2 years, with a greater emphasis on telehealth and remote consultations, as well as online group education sessions. We need to continue to refine and adapt remote service delivery, in parallel with traditional in-person service delivery, to potentially allow greater efficiencies in delivery of care, while also ensuring equality and accessibility, and engaging in audit and evaluation of new practice and innovation.

The COM Operations Manager’s role will also include liaising with the Obesity National Clinical Programme, supporting the objectives of development of integrated models of care, and improving access to services and quality of care for adults, children and young people living with overweight and obesity in Ireland.
