Paediatric Dietitian - Inherited Metabolic Disease & Barth Syndrome
Join to apply for the Paediatric Dietitian - Inherited Metabolic Disease & Barth Syndrome role at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
Are you looking to further your experience as a specialised paediatric dietitian whilst working as part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team in a tertiary children’s hospital? We are a friendly department of 32 dietitians, supported by dietetic support workers, Special Feed Unit staff, and an administrative team.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced, proactive specialist paediatric dietitian to join our inherited metabolic disease team. This role will provide tertiary and secondary level services throughout the South West for children with inherited metabolic diseases and will also be the dietetic lead for the national NHS Specialised Service for Barth syndrome.
To apply for this post, you will ideally have clinical paediatric experience in at least one specialist area alongside leadership skills to ensure high standards of clinical care and knowledge. Excellent multidisciplinary networks are active within the clinical specialty.
We have advertised this as a full-time, 12-month fixed-term maternity leave post at band 7 level, but will consider a suitably experienced AfC band 6 paediatric dietitian.
Our department is committed to student training, quality improvement, research, and audit. All staff are supported with regular meetings with their supervisor. We pride ourselves on our commitment to continuing professional development.
We have good clerical, dietetic support worker, and IM&T support. We are part of the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW). Bristol is a vibrant, fun city that is full of opportunities and a gateway to the Southwest.
