- Support children requiring nutritional monitoring, enteral feeding, and specialist intervention during critical stages of growth and development.

Qualifications
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.
We welcome applications from experienced Band 6 Paediatric Dietitians, as well as Band 5 Dietitians with relevant clinical experience and an interest in developing their paediatric skills. Previous paediatric experience is desirable but not essential. We would love to hear from Dietitians with transferable skills and a passion for working with children and families.
Opportunities
This role offers the opportunity to develop specialist paediatric dietetic skills, contribute to service improvement, and be part of a team committed to delivering high-quality nutritional care across NHS Tayside.
The team is committed to supporting professional development through CPD opportunities, student training, collaborative learning, and involvement in service improvement projects.
