Advanced Practitioner Dietitian
We are seeking a highly motivated and proactive Advanced Practitioner Dietitian to join our Adult Allergy Service at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced clinician with exceptional communication and influencing skills to contribute to a dynamic, forward-thinking MDT.
You will lead and deliver advanced dietetic care for adults with suspected and confirmed food allergy, including specialist assessment, diagnosis, management, and support for open food challenges and reintroduction programmes. You will provide expert advice to the MDT, contribute to weekly case-based discussions, and receive supervision from a Consultant Immunologist. As an Advanced Practitioner, you will lead the Adult Allergy Dietetic Service, line-manage staff, drive quality improvement, and provide clinical, operational, and strategic leadership. You will deliver specialist education, maintain up-to-date expertise, support multidisciplinary learning, and take responsibility for your own advanced professional development. You will also lead research and audit activity, contribute to regional and national initiatives, and help shape evidence-based policies and pathways across the Trust.
Our Adult Allergy MDT has recently achieved IQAS RCP accreditation, reflecting our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality, evidence-based care. This role offers the chance to shape the future of adult allergy services within a nationally recognised team.
