An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, self -motivated dietitian to join our friendly Upper GI (UGI) dietetic team at Royal Liverpool Hospital site. The hospital, which is a university teaching hospital, is the regional tertiary centre for UGI Cancer surgery. This post supports the UGI Dietetic team, composed of Bands 7 and 6 UGI Dietitians and Band 4 UGI Dietetic Assistant Practitioners, in providing complex dietetic support to Upper GI patients.

We are looking for a dietitian with excellent communication skills, the ability to work both independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team and experience of working with people with complex nutritional needs.

The post holder will be responsible for supporting the UGI Dietitians in delivering regional UGI dietetic services to Cheshire and Merseyside, based within Royal Liverpool Hospital. The role involves inpatient and outpatient services for this complex UGI patient group, including assessment, treatment, and review of highly complex, acutely ill patients within the service and collaborative working with community agencies. The role involves delivering telephone clinics, and weekly attendance at two busy surgical clinics alongside the UGI MDT, which includes surgeons and specialist nurses. The post holder will also support the monthly ‘Little and Often’ support group for UGI Cancer patients and their carers.

There are flexible working opportunities and potential to work from home as well as on site.

Operational responsibilities include monitoring referrals and activity, prioritising caseload as necessary, evaluating activity, responding to service demands.

The Dietitian will work with the team contributing to service improvement, training, development of protocols, policies, resources, standards, and audit. We provide regular supervision, appraisals, and regular team meetings.

The upper GI Dietetic team is part of a wider Dietetic Department consisting of Dietitian’s and Assistants, including Specialists in Nephrology, Diabetes, Nutrition Support, Gastroenterology and Haematology.

The department has a well-established Practice Supervision programme for new graduates and is also committed to training other Health Care Professionals and Student Dietitians

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
