Birmingham, United Kingdom Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust Full time

The Nutrition and Dietetics Service at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust is excited to recruit a Dietetic Support Worker to work within our hospital based nutrition and dietetic team within our ambitious and forward-thinking therapies structure.

Our belief is that dietitians, nutrition nurses and support staff:

- Enable recovery
- Empower quality of life
- Bring independence and dignity to our patients

You would be joining a supportive, frindly and progressive team and working alongside our existing dietetic support staff with dietitians and nutrition nurses in a team of more than 30. Our service is growing following recent investment and is well integrated with the Speech and Language Therapy Department. As a trust we celebrate a strong positive focus on Nutrition and Hydration as a Key Fundamental of Care.

This role is a highly valued support role for our nutrition and dietetics team with the main day to day functions to support the Dietitians to provide a service to referred patients with a particular emphasis on adult inpatient and outpatients attending the diabetes service.

For those seeking long-term career opportunities we do support career development pathways and this role can act as a gateway towards developing into one of our band 4 - Nutrition and Hydration Assistant roles. As a department we also support the Dietetic apprenticeship pathway for those with long-term aspirations to become a qualified dietitian. Our Allied Health Professions Council also offers the opportunity for our support staff to engage with our Chief Allied Health Professional and senior trust staff providing a voice into the future development of our services.

Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.

**We have three newly emerging strategic objectives**:
1. Our People - to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
2. Our Patients - to be good or outstanding in everything we do
3. Our Population - to work seamlessly with our partners to improve live
