We have an exciting opportunity for both newly qualified dietitians wishing to start their career in paediatrics and those with experience wishing to further their paediatric career in Bradford.
We are looking for an enthusiastic dietitian with a passion for making a difference in the lives of children and families to join our well-established and supportive team of paediatric dietitians. We would welcome dietitians who are due to graduate this year and can support employment prior to HPCP registration. We have an established preceptorship programme to support new graduates and are committed to continue to support further education and development. We are also offering the opportunity for qualified dietitians wishing to further your dietetic career and we will provide you with training and development, support to grow and opportunities for informal and formal study leave.
Depending on your experience you will join the team as a band 5 with the opportunity to join a competency-based training programme to progress you from a band 5 to a band 6 dietitian. For those with adequate post qualification experience working as a dietitian (not necessarily paediatrics) you will have the opportunity to join the team as a band 6 dietitian.
Band 5 or Band 6 with opportunity for Band 5-6 progression depending on experience.
The job will be working within the paediatric dietetic team providing care to all children across Bradford allowing for opportunity to build close rapport with patients and provide continuity of care which is highly rewarding. Our friendly team have an excellent reputation throughout the hospital and are highly respected by our clinical teams. Our consultants rate nutrition highly and value working with the paediatric dietitians and Bradford boasts specialist services for inborn errors in metabolism, paediatric diabetes, and a tertiary neonatal service.
The successful applicant will be involved in providing training for ‘B’ and ‘C’ Placement Dietetic students. You may also be involved in the delivery of training and education sessions to other health professionals within the Trust and work alongside the colleagues to write and implement nutritional care procedures and guidelines.
Work areas may change depending on service demand, so applicants do need to be flexible. The service is delivered across 2 hospital sites and being a car driver with access to a car is desirable.
Professional development opportunities exist within the Dietetic department and quality, clinical effectiveness and service user experience are given high priority.
We use values-based recruitment as an indicator at interview and you may be asked to do a presentation if you are shortlisted.
Bradford is a diverse city and our patients have varying social, cultural, language and financial needs that make every day an interesting one. Bradford is a great place to learn, or enhance, your paediatric dietetic knowledge and skills and you will be well supported by Highly Specialist Paediatric Dietitians and experienced peers.
