An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Dietitian to work in our Tier 3 Weight Management Service and alongside our Tier 4 Bariatric Surgery Service here at Musgrove Park Hospital. We have been awarded “International Centre of Excellence for Bariatric Surgery” status and are an ASO (The Association for the Study of Obesity) accredited collaborating centre for obesity management. As a lead centre in the South West of England, we are regularly involved in research.
You will work within the dedicated and supportive MDT of Consultant Endocrinologists, Clinical Psychologists, Specialist Dietitians, Dietetic Assistant, Consultant Surgeons, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Research Team and clerical staff to provide part of the Dietetic service for the Weight Management Service.

The benefits of working in Somerset include the idyllic countryside, with our areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines. You will get to enjoy these perks whilst still only being a stone's throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath and Exeter and only two hours away from London.
There are excellent educational facilities in the area and, when compared to other regions, house prices are reasonable. You will experience the best of both in Somerset, the countryside and the cosmopolitan - there is truly something for everyone
