2 weeks ago


Birmingham, United Kingdom University Hospitals Birmingham Full time

**Job overview**:
Are you an experienced Dietitian looking for a new innovative role? Do you have well developed leadership and excellent communication skills with an interest and some experience in the area of HIV

Following reconfiguration and redesign of HIV therapy services across University Hospitals Birmingham an exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a part time (0.5WTE) Band 7 Dietitian Team Lead and Specialist post in HIV Therapy services to work collaboratively with a part time Band 7 HIV Occupational Therapy Team Leader in jointly leading a small friendly team of 6 Occupational therapists, Dietitian and Therapy support workers within a specialist regional HIV service.

The successful applicant will work as an integral member of the HIV Specialist MDT team carrying a caseload of complex patients, lead the development and redesign of the service in conjunction with the Band 7 HIV Occupational therapy lead as well as provide professional leadership to the HIV Dietitians.

You will be a valued member of our dynamic multidisciplinary team where your opinion counts with the opportunity to influence the shaping of HIV Dietetic and Therapy services across UHB alongside support from Consultant HIV Physicians and the Therapy Leadership team. HIV Dietetics is a relatively unique service nationally and therefore this post offers the chance to support guiding development of HIV Dietetic services at a wider level.

**Main duties, tasks & skills required**:
Clinical work is predominantly in the out-patient setting working both remotely and face to face with some specialist inpatient work as well as working with individuals and groups.

Enthusiasm for quality improvement, teaching and coaching and development of the service is essential as well as enthusiasm to promote HIV therapy service delivery nationally. As a regional centre there are many opportunities to be involved in national initiatives.

Excellent communication skills, leadership skills and a flexible approach will be a key requirement as well as exemplary team working, organisational and time management skills.

The trust offers excellent training and development opportunities to enhance and nurture your skill development.

The post is based at Heartlands hospital with clinical input also provided at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The post holder will be expected to work across sites as required as the Trust is a multi-site organisation. You may need to change your normal place of work either temporarily or on a permanent basis as a result of development or re-organisation of services.

This role includes participation in an evening clinic. The Trust is committed to providing a 7 day therapy service and therefore participation in working bank holidays and at weekends may be required in this role.

**About us**:
We are recognised as one of the leading NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK. Our vision is to Build Healthier Lives, and we recognise that we need incredible staff to do this.

Our commitment to our staff is to create the best place for them to work, and we are dedicated to:
Investing in the health and wellbeing of our staff, including a commitment of offering flexible working where we can;
Offer our staff a wide variety of training and development opportunities, to support their personal and career development objectives.

UHB is committed to ensuring that our staff are treated fairly and feel that they belong, by creating a kind and inclusive environment. This is about equity of opportunity; removing all barriers, including discrimination and ensuring each individual member of staff reach their true potential, achieve their ambitions and thrive in their work. This is more than words. We are taking action. Our commitment to an inclusive culture is embedded at all levels of the organisation where every voice is heard, driven by our diverse and active staff networks, and at Board level by the Fairness Taskforce led by our CEO. We nurture a culture which empowers staff to challenge discriminatory behaviours and to enable people to bring their 'whole self' to a kinder, more connected and bold place to work.
