Experienced Paediatric Dietician? Join our team in North Devon—small, supportive, and making a big difference for children and their families. Not forgetting you’ll be in glorious Devon, a fantastic landscape of vibrant cities, stunning beaches and rugged moors. We would value someone with experience and passion to cover an eating disorder or diabetes caseload. However, would welcome and consider an application of a broader general dietetic background.

More detail about the role
Are you a specialist dietitian who aspires to improve health, quality of life and care experience for children and their families? We are looking for a full or part time band 7 paediatric dietitian to join us.
You would be part of our supportive and friendly dietetic team based at North Devon District Hospital of the Royal Devon University Healthcare Trust. The paediatric dietetics team covers inpatient ward (children’s and neonatal unit) as well as outpatient clinics such as nutritional support, diabetes, home enteral tube feeding, CMPA/allergies and eating disorders. We provide face to face, telephone and video support to families.
Why join the paediatrics dietetics team?
We're a small, friendly and supportive team. We collaborate on the wards as part of a big team that includes experts from different fields. We work closely with the adult dietetics team based at our northern services, as well as our paediatric counterparts in our eastern services based at the Exeter hospital site. This gives us the best of both worlds - a cosy team feel and the strength and knowledge of a larger group.

Training and development opportunities are in high supply here, whether you are interested in clinical or leadership development, courses, secondments or placements. We’ll support you in finding the best way to grow. As an example of how far your career can take you, we have recently introduced consultant Allied Health Professional (AHP’s) roles to physiotherapy, First Contact Practitioners in primary care settings, and Clinical Educator posts across all specialities.
