Bristol, United Kingdom University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) Full time

Job summary

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced Dietitian to join our nationally renowned Home Enteral Feeding Service in Bristol - Home Management Services (HMS). We are proud to be part of the wider Nutrition & Dietetic team at UHBW (University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation Trust).

You will join a team of experienced & friendly Dietitians, Assistants, & admin staff to support a large caseload of people enterally feeding in the community - currently 730 patients. We work in close partnership with Nutricia, through the enteral feeding contract. Based at Central Health Clinic in Bristol, we cover an area of 500 square miles, stretching from Weston-Super-Mare to Bath & Thornbury, however with fantastic IT infrastructure we support remote working, so you will not have to travel into the city centre on a daily basis. An enquiring mind coupled with enthusiasm is needed to get the best out of this opportunity, &, as travel is an integral part of the job, you must be a driver with own transport.

You will be an HCPC registered Dietitian with a sound working experience of enteral nutrition support, with long term conditions, & ideally a relevant post graduate qualification. Experience of Home Enteral Feeding will be an advantage. Ideally, we are looking for someone who already has experience in both adults & paediatrics, however training/development will be supported if required.

This vacancy may close early if we receive high volumes of applicants

Main duties of the job

The service supports tube fed adults and children who live in their own homes, care homes and other community facilities. You will manage your own caseload and diary, so being able to manage your time efficiently, work on your own initiative, but also as part of a wider multi-professional team are essential attributes. Excellent interpersonal skills and effective communication skills are vital, with a proven ability to communicate with people from wide socio-economic & cultural backgrounds.

We offer excellent opportunities for professional and personal development and encourage involvement in audit, service evaluation and research, and take an active part in student training.
