Specialist Learning Disability Dietitian (Band 6)
37.5 hours per week
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an individual to work within the Norfolk Adult Learning Disability Service.
Learning disabilities (LD) is a challenging yet rewarding area to work in. We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join a friendly team of band 6 dietitians and a band 7 team lead. The learning disability dietetic team is closely aligned to five locality based teams across Norfolk. Each locality team consists of other health care professionals which are integrated with social care. Therefore, multi-disciplinary working is a key element within this role.
The successful applicant will hold and manage their own caseload of patients. You will assess and treat patients for a wide range of nutritional concerns and liaise closely with the relevant multidisciplinary team, carers/family and other outside agencies to ensure safe, effective and holistic care.
You will also be involved in providing training and education to patients, carers and other support staff on topics such as nutrition support, dysphagia and weight management. There will be opportunities to become involved in service development and quality improvement work.
Whilst you will be line managed and supervised by the dietetic team lead, you will be supported by your local learning disability multidisciplinary team, as well as the health team manager for that locality.
Your base is likely to be County Hall as you will be working predominantly within the City and East LD Teams. However, this is negotiable and will be taken into consideration with the needs of the service. You will be expected to provide input and cover county wide at times, therefore travel is required. Whilst you will have an office base, alternative working arrangements e.g. working from home/other sites are a key feature of this role. Flexible working arrangements can be discussed.
The dietetic learning disability team is part of a wider community dietetic team who are based at Thorpe Health Centre. Free parking is available on site.
Come and join an outstanding organisation, as rated by the CQC, where we value our staff.
The dietetic department hold regular peer review sessions, shared lunch and learns and away days. NCH&C also have many internal learning opportunities. The Trust takes a positive and proactive approach to support staff in their personal development.
To support the delivery of a high quality, safe and compassionate healthcare service, all staff are expected to act as a role model to others in all aspects of their work and consistently demonstrate NCH&C’s trust values of Community, Compassion and Creativity.
