An exciting vacancy has arisen for an enthusiastic and well-motivated Paediatric Dietitian to join our team of dietitians within the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay.
We would also consider applications from newly qualified Dietitians, offering a bespoke development programme to progress to band 6 on completion.
The successful applicant will work alongside an experienced multi-disciplinary team of Paediatricians, Nurses, Dietitians, and Therapists who are responsible for providing a service across social and health care boundaries.
Applicants should be HCPC registered dietitians. The post is based at Lancaster Royal Infirmary and will require you to travel to other sites and clinic locations.
Main duties of the job
The post will cover both inpatient and outpatient paediatric work, and you will gain experience in a wide range of clinical areas including nutrition support, enteral feeding, gastroenterology, food allergies, and feeding problems.
The department is approved for training student dietitians. You will also provide support to junior and support staff within the wider Dietetic team. You will use your knowledge and skills to support the learning and development of MDT colleagues and contribute towards updating protocols and resources. We have excellent IT facilities and are committed to personal development.
The ideal candidate will have had previous experience working in paediatrics, but we will also consider individuals with adult experience wanting to transition to paediatrics. You may be working as an experienced band 5 and looking for an opportunity to progress in this speciality. We can support you to develop into this role.
