We are excited to offer the opportunity for innovative, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable Dietitians to join a newly funded specialist weight management service, expanding upon our existing bariatric surgical service.
This is your chance to be part of a forward-thinking, multidisciplinary team delivering holistic, person-centred care to reduce health inequalities for adults living with complex obesity across Calderdale and Kirklees.
The successful candidates will:
Deliver evidence-based, timely care for patients requiring specialist interventions including bariatric surgery, weight-loss medications, and non-surgical weight management programmes.
Work closely with a well-established MDT including Bariatric Surgeons, Endocrinologists, Specialist Nurses, Psychologists, and Dietitians.
Conduct independent and MDT clinics, facilitate patient education and support groups, and provide pre-operative and post-operative care.
Contribute to service development, audit, and pathway innovation
We are looking for Dietitians who:
Hold a degree/diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics and are HCPC registered.
Have experience working with patients living with obesity, including dietary and lifestyle interventions, GLP-1 RA medications, and bariatric surgery.
Demonstrate a strong understanding of weight bias and stigma in healthcare and society.
Are excellent communicators, proactive, and able to work both independently and as part of a team.
We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients' homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.
We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children's and young people's services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.
We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.
We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
Interested candidates are advised to look to the job description and person specification found alongside this advert for a full and detailed description of duties, roles and responsibilities associated with this post.
There will be opportunities for flexible working.
