We are looking for a forward thinking and enthusiastic dietitian to join our established team of paediatric dietitians, based at Nottingham Children’s Hospital at NUH. You will become an integral member of our supportive multidisciplinary team delivering high quality, patient centred dietetic care.
You will manage a varied inpatient and outpatient general paediatric caseload (0-19yrs) which can include children with allergies, faltering growth and children who need nutrition support. Previous paediatric dietetic experience is desirable but not essential.

The Nottingham Children's Hospital (NCH) is based at the Queens Medical Centre campus and is part of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH). We provide care for children up to the age of 19 years old.
The Children’s Therapy team at NCH is a friendly and supportive department who work closely alongside the wider MDT, providing excellent evidence-based care and innovative ways of working.
Come and join our wonderful team at NUH. We are big believers in diversity and welcome new ideas to help develop our team in order to deliver world class healthcare to the vast patient populations we serve. With endless personal development opportunities available, at NUH we will endeavour to turn your job into a career!
We particularly welcome applications from people who identify as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, or Disabled, as we are striving to be better represented at NUH.
You will need to have excellent communication skills, be adaptable and confident to work autonomously and with other members of staff within a supportive team.
