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. Service delivery takes place in a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics, children and young people’s homes, nurseries, schools and health centres. This can be on a one to one basis, as part of a multidisciplinary team, and/or delivering group sessions.
The post holder will:
- 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.
