An exciting opportunity has a risen for a full-time, permanent Band 6 Dietitian with a passion for paediatric dietetics to further develop their knowledge and skills within the Dietetic outpatient Services. The post holder will gain experience in assessing and managing a diverse clinical case load, including those with complex feeding difficulties and children and young people on Home Enteral Tube Feeding (HETF).

The Paediatric Dietetic Service has a team of 30 Dietitians, based across 3 sites: Royal Hospital for Children, Inverclyde Royal Hospital and the Vale of Leven Hospital. The Royal Hospital for Children is one of the largest paediatric centres in the UK and is a national and tertiary referral centre for a wide range of paediatric specialties.
Successful candidates will work as part of the multi-disciplinary team including medical, nursing and other AHP colleagues. You will work within a larger clinical team of dietitians and receive excellent peer support and opportunities for personal and professional development. You will also participate in the Scottish student clinical placement programme.
You will have a BSc in Dietetics or equivalent and be registered with the HCPC. We invite applications if you can demonstrate a core knowledge of nutrition and growth with evidence of relevant work experience and post graduate training/CPD either in paediatrics or other relevant specialties such as complex nutrition support.
