Exciting Opportunity for a Dietitian in Gastroenterology
Due to the promotion of the current post holder, an exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Dietitian to join the Gastroenterology Service at King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill. This post would suit either an experienced Band 5 Dietitian looking to progress into a specialist Band 6 role or a Band 6 Dietitian seeking a new challenge and the opportunity to develop expertise in gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery. The post is initially offered on a 12-month fixed-term basis (0.8 WTE). It is anticipated that, subject to the King's redesign programme and relevant approvals, the role will subsequently be extended and increased to a substantive 1.0 WTE position.
Team Overview
The gastroenterology dietetic team comprises a Band 8a Clinical Lead Dietitian, two Band 7 Dietitians, a Band 6 Dietitian and a rotational Band 5 Dietitian, delivering specialist nutrition support across a range of inpatient and outpatient services.
Role Overview
This varied role combines two weekly onsite gastroenterology outpatient clinics with the management of a gastrosurgical and colorectal surgical inpatient caseload. The successful candidate will provide specialist nutritional assessment and intervention to patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), inflammatory bowel disease and those undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, including patients requiring highly individualised nutritional management following complex intestinal procedures.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The post is based onsite across a four-day working week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday), with Thursday as a non-working day. The successful candidate will therefore need excellent organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritise effectively and balance the demands of a complex inpatient caseload alongside scheduled outpatient clinics.
Key Responsibilities
- Work closely with gastroenterologists, surgeons and the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care.
- Play a key role in service development, including ongoing innovations within the DGBI service, patient education programmes and digital transformation projects.
- Benefit from regular supervision, mentorship and support from experienced senior gastroenterology dietitians.
- Shadow within the Parenteral Nutrition Service and support the supervision and line management of the rotational Band 5 Dietitian.
Benefits
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop specialist expertise across both gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery within a supportive, innovative and forward-thinking team.
