Job Overview
We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 6 Dietitian to join our friendly and progressive community team.
Responsibilities
The successful applicant will have gained skills and experience across a range of clinical dietetic specialities in either an acute or community setting in order to specialise further in oral nutritional support and home enteral tube feeding.
The Nutrition Support Service covers clinical caseloads for malnutrition / appropriate prescribing, adult home enteral tube feeding, and complex obesity. This role requires some face‑to‑face domiciliary and nursing home visits in the borough of Barnet, which makes a car driver required.
You will mainly support patients in the community who require tube feeding, and you will also manage a caseload of those at risk of malnutrition, liaising with patients, relatives and carers around a food‑based approach and the appropriate prescribing of oral nutritional supplements in line with our pathway and the North Central London (NCL) formulary.
There is also scope to support patients living with obesity. You will regularly communicate with GP practices, hospital dietitians, pharmacists and other community based teams such as nursing, One Care Home and Frailty MDTs, and contribute to various networks across CLCH and NCL.
You will gain further experience in supervising students, and management of dietetic assistants and junior staff. CLCH provides excellent opportunities for your own professional growth through Dietetic and AHP networks, clinical training courses and leadership development programmes.
Qualifications
To be considered for this role you must already hold active HCPC registration as a Dietitian and be able to practise in the UK. You must hold a full UK driving licence and be a car driver, as you will be expected to undertake home visits. The role is not sponsored for this position and requires the right to work in the UK. Interviews will be held face‑to‑face.
