Being a Dietitian is so much more than just knowing what foods to eat, it's creating a nutritional bespoke plan that gives some of the most vulnerable people the energy and determination to build a brighter future.
Feel valued and supported when you join the team as a Bank Dietitian at Avalon Neurological Centre, a purpose-built neurological centre for men and women over the age of 18 years, who have an acquired brain injury.
With experience from the NHS and/or private sector, you will manage a complex caseload, which will see you create individual rapports with service users as you learn about their health concerns, goals and dietary restrictions and preferences to create a healthy nutrition plan.
As a Bank Dietitian, you will deliver and offer contributions to the development of the specialist treatment plans and pathways as you maintain close contact with local community teams.
Working alongside a multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to the delivery of the service, offering assessment, formulation and treatment to people and their families/carers. You will act as a key link between the nursing team, the catering department, leading on the management of the dining room and nutrition support strategies on the unit.
A range of training opportunities are available that can see your career grow and you achieve your career aspirations.

Carrying out one to one nutrition counselling sessions to determine eating behaviours, beliefs and attitudes about food and health, rationale for food choices, factors affecting eating behaviour and nutrition status.
