Summary

This is an exciting opportunity for a dietitian to join the Children’s Integrated Community Service.

We are looking for a highly-motivated, friendly and enthusiastic person who should have dietetic experience of working in a healthcare setting.

The service sits within the wider Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale (HMR) Children’s Integrated Health Services Directorate. There are currently three dietitians, a dietetic assistant, admin support and accessible management.

The paediatric dietetic team is based at Callaghan House in Heywood, working across HMR in a variety of settings to deliver services to children and young people from 0 – 19 years, and their families, with a wide range of difficulties and disabilities.

The team enables children with a wide range of difficulties and disabilities to maximise their nutritional status, and overall growth and development in the community.

This can be on a one to one basis, as part of a multidisciplinary team, and/or delivering group sessions.

Provide evidence-based dietetic care (allergies, home enteral feeding, fussy/sensory eaters, nutritional deficiencies, weight management) according to the individual needs of each patient.

Provide continued support to the rest of the team.
