Psychologist - Behaviour Change & Precision Health

Job Description

Role Purpose

The Psychologist - Behaviour Change & Precision Health will work as an integral part of the Twinhealth clinical care team to improve member engagement, adherence and long-term behavioural change. The role will leverage psychological science, behavioural medicine and motivational interviewing to understand the individual behavioural, emotional and contextual barriers affecting a member's ability to follow personalised recommendations generated by the Twin Digital Twin.

The psychologist will use member-specific metabolic, behavioural and engagement data to develop individualised behaviour-change strategies, helping members translate personalised recommendations around nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, medication adherence and lifestyle into sustainable daily behaviours.

Key Responsibilities

1. Individualised Behavioural Assessment

• Assess psychological, behavioural and contextual factors influencing a member's metabolic health and programme engagement.

• Identify barriers to adherence, including motivation, health beliefs, emotional eating, stress, poor sleep, habit patterns, low self-efficacy and competing life demands.

• Use longitudinal member data and Digital Twin insights to identify behavioural patterns associated with improvement or deterioration.

2. Precision Behaviour Change

• Develop personalised behavioural interventions based on the member's specific metabolic phenotype, goals, readiness to change and behavioural barriers.

• Translate complex clinical/Digital Twin recommendations into practical and achievable behavioural goals.

• Apply evidence-based approaches including motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioural techniques, goal setting, habit formation, self-monitoring and behavioural activation.

• Individualise the intensity and type of psychological intervention according to member need.

3. Engagement & Adherence

• Proactively identify members at risk of disengagement or poor adherence.

• Develop interventions to improve adherence to nutrition, exercise, sleep, medication and monitoring recommendations.

• Address behavioural resistance, motivational decline, treatment fatigue and loss of engagement.

• Reinforce self-efficacy and help members develop sustainable rather than short-term behaviour change.

4. Data-Driven Behavioural Coaching

• Integrate psychological assessment with Digital Twin outputs, CGM trends, wearable data, engagement metrics and clinical outcomes.

• Identify relationships between behavioural patterns and changes in metabolic outcomes.

• Use these insights to continuously refine individual behavioural interventions.

• Contribute behavioural interpretation to multidisciplinary clinical case reviews.

5. Psychological & Emotional Support

• Address psychological factors that directly interfere with metabolic health and programme adherence, including stress, anxiety, emotional eating, sleep-related behavioural issues and maladaptive coping behaviours.

• Recognise members requiring formal mental-health assessment or specialist psychiatric/psychological care and facilitate appropriate referral.

• Maintain appropriate boundaries between behavioural-health intervention and treatment of psychiatric disorders.
