If you are looking to be a part of a multi-disciplinary team, situated in a vibrant area of Southeast London that has excellent transport links, delivering a service to a diverse population with a high level of job satisfaction, then look no further.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our friendly community dietetics team, working as part of our Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN) Team that supports people of all ages with their eating, drinking and tube feeding at home.

The position will suit you if you enjoy working as part of a team, are keen to learn, have a strong interest in Nutrition and want to make a difference in people’s lives.

You will need to be reliable and conscientious. You should have excellent communication, organisational and problem-solving skills. You also need to feel comfortable working independently and knowing when to seek support.

The role is based at the Waldron Health Centre in New Cross and Kaleidoscope Children’s Centre in Catford. It involves travelling to see children in Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham.

You will work as part of the HEN team, carrying out tasks that do not need the expertise of a Registered Dietitian. The role will include:

Contributing to the safe and seamless discharge of children with feeding tubes from hospital to the community setting.

Weighing and measuring babies, children and young people

Using dietary analysis tools to assess nutrient intake

Supporting the clinical team in research, audit and service development projects

As your skills and knowledge develop so will your role, responsibilities and level of autonomy.

The Nutrition and Dietetics Service at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust provide a range of inpatient, outpatient and community services to adults and children.

The HEN Team is a specialist service providing expert support for people of all ages to safely manage their eating and drinking and tube feeding at home in Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. Our paediatric team comprises Dietitians, HEN Assistants and Administrators.

We work closely with the HEN Team for adults, the Dietetic Service for Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and the wider multidisciplinary team, including Children’s Community Nurses, Speech and Language Therapists and Paediatricians.

Our people are our greatest asset. When we feel supported and happy at work, this positivity reaches those very people we are here for, the patients. Engaged employees perform at their best and our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) initiatives contribute to cultivate a culture of engagement. We have four staff networks, a corporate EDI Team and a suite of programmes and events which aim to insert the 5 aspirations:
Improving representation at senior levels of staff with disabilities, from black, Asian, and ethnic minorities background, identify as LGBTQ+ and women, through improved recruitment and leadership development
Widening access (anchor institution) and employability
Improving the experience of staff with disability
Improving the EDI literacy and confidence of trust staff through training and development
Making equalities mainstream

**Job Summary**:
The post holder will be a member of the HEN Team. The roles, responsibilities and level of autonomy will develop as the post holder develops their skills and knowledge. The post holder will need to be able to work under their own initiative and be able to see patients in a community setting, where they may be acting as a lone worker. They will work under close supervision of the HEN Team clinicians but the level of supervision will decrease as the post holder becomes more skilled in their role.
