The post holder will deliver evidence-based dietetic assessment, advice, and treatment for children with a variety of complex nutritional needs. These may include children requiring home enteral nutrition such as PEG or nasogastric feeding, those needing oral nutritional supplements, and those with developmental disabilities affecting feeding and growth. Dietetic interventions will be tailored and modified as needed based on changes in clinical status, and provided in diverse settings such as clinic, home visits, or educational environments. They will be expected to communicate effectively and compassionately with children, families, and carers, using a variety of communication methods where appropriate. The role also involves close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team including community paediatricians, childrens nurses, therapists, GPs, social workers, and feeding company representatives. The dietitian will attend and contribute to multidisciplinary meetings and will be responsible for ensuring that accurate and timely documentation is provided to all relevant parties. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing their own caseload with support, prioritising referrals, and ensuring clinical activity is in line with demand and service priorities. Flexibility is required to help cover colleagues' caseloads during absences or periods of high demand. They will contribute to the resilience and sustainability of the wider SCYPS and Community Childrens Nursing team. As part of their professional development, the post holder will engage in a comprehensive two-year preceptorship programme designed to provide the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence to practice independently at Band 6 level. They will participate in regular clinical supervision, in-service training, journal clubs, and case discussions. Maintaining HCPC registration and a reflective CPD portfolio is essential. The post holder will also contribute to the development of dietetic services by supporting the creation of resources, referral pathways, policies, and guidelines. Participation in audit, research, and clinical governance activities is expected to ensure a high-quality, safe, and responsive service. They must demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement and be proactive in identifying and acting on service development opportunities. In addition to clinical duties, the dietitian must adhere to all relevant Trust policies, including those concerning confidentiality, health and safety, infection control, safeguarding, equality and diversity, and risk management. They must also be committed to upholding the values of East London NHS Foundation Trust, including promoting service user and carer involvement in care delivery. The post holder will also be expected to demonstrate flexibility, supporting colleagues across the service when needed, and undertake other duties appropriate to the band and role as requested by the line manager.
