About the Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated dietitian to join our friendly, supportive and forward-thinking dietetic team. We are seeking an experienced paediatric dietitian to work within our specialist cardiac service.
The successful candidate will provide expert nutritional assessment and management for infants, children and young people across the inpatient and outpatient cardiology pathway. Working closely with cardiologists, specialist nurses and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will play a key role in supporting growth and development, optimising nutritional status before and after surgery, managing enteral feeding, and contributing to service development and clinical governance activities.
Ideally you should be able to commence at Band 7 level but full consideration will be given to experienced applicants to commence at Band 6 with the view to progress to band 7 level when ready.
