Due to internal promotion, an opportunity has arisen to join our friendly, enthusiastic and motivated team of dietitians and three dietetic assistants who together cover all clinical areas of the hospital.
Our team have a strong ethos of support and working together.

We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook – if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.
We are looking for an enthusiastic dietitian with HCPC registration who has good communication skills and can demonstrate our values of excellence, compassion, and respect.
