Blackburn, United Kingdom East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

Are you a band 6 Dietitian looking to develop or broaden your skills or looking for part time hours, a band 5 Dietitian looking for your first promotion ?

An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Dietitian to join our innovative and dynamic Dietetic Department. We are looking for a 0.5 wte Diabetes Dietitian to join our Dietetic Diabetes team.

Please follow the link below for a short clip of our Dietetics team at East Lancashire Hospital Trust.

The post holder would cover type 1 complex Diabetes outpatient caseload (carbohydrate counting, insulin adjustment, insulin pumps and exercise management) as well as intermediate care for complex type 2 patients. This would include a mixture of Dietetic clinics, joint Diabetes nurse clinics and MDT clinics with the Diabetes Consultants. The post holder would be part of the wider Diabetes team as well as the Dietetic team and would also be involved in delivering DAFNE training. Training will be given if not already DAFNE trained.

The department has bases in Royal Blackburn Hospital, Burnley General Hospital, and Brierfield Health Centre. The post holder would be primarily based at Royal Blackburn Hospital's Diabetes Unit but would be expected to cover outpatient services across East Lancashire

The Diabetes team is part of the wider Dietetic Department covering the hospitals and communities of East Lancashire. The department has nearly 80 staff, 45 of whom are Dietitians. The department covers many specialities and is known for its innovation and development.

The department has good transport links to Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and beyond. We are also close to the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.

Experience in Diabetes would be preferable but not essential. We appreciate that all applicants may not have the required clinical skills to completely fulfill the role therefore we are prepared to offer clinical training to support this when applicants have appropriate transferrable skills.

The post is supported by Clinical Specialist Band 7 Dietitians as well as other band 6 Diabetes Dietitians, Band 5 Rotational staff and Band 3 Dietetic Assistants. The post holder would be expected to help manage, support and clinically supervise Band 5 rotational staff, support staff, and Dietetic students/apprentices. The department offers the full student training programme and the post holder would be expected to be involved in clinically assessing and teaching of students therefore experience in this area is desirable.

Informal enquiries welcome
