A key part of the role will be leading on menu review, nutritional analysis, allergen identification and coding of menus. The post holder will have clear communication links with inpatient dietitians to ensure specialist menus can be provided when required (including texture modified, allergen specific and therapeutic diets).

Additionally, developing and running audit and satisfaction surveys will be key tools that will influence improvements at UHDB.
