This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced dietitian to specialise in paediatric dietetics.
Experience in paediatrics is advantageous; however, if a candidate can demonstrate an interest and enthusiasm for paediatric dietetics along with a willingness to learn, they will be considered.
This is a permanent part-time (15 hours per week) role.
Main duties of the job
This is a varied role based at Hereford County Hospital.
You will have the opportunity to provide dietetic care for a variety of conditions including but not limited to cow's milk protein allergy, faltering growth, selective eating, and coeliac disease.
You will run dietetic-led clinics, be a core part of consultant-led MDT clinics, and develop and run group education sessions. There is some opportunity for remote working.
About us
Wye Valley NHS Trust is a member of an NHS Foundation Group with South Warwickshire NHS FT, the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust, and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
Located on the border with Wales in the shadow of the Black Mountains, we provide acute and community services across Herefordshire and into parts of Powys and run Hereford County Hospital and the community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster, and Ross-on-Wye.
We are a progressive and forward-looking trust with ambitious plans to improve quality and integrate patient pathways through close collaborative working with our partners to deliver the quality of care we'd want for our family and friends.
More than 3,500 people work for the Trust - they tell us it's a great place to work, blending the busyness of a DGH with the benefits of working in a beautiful rural and unspoilt county like Herefordshire.
We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential.
Our values - Care, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence - are at the heart of all we do. We believe in providing the right care in the right place at the right time...all the time.
