An exciting opportunity has arisen within the children’s diabetes team for a full time band 6 paediatric diabetes specialist dietitian.

We are seeking a highly motivated dietitian who would like to develop their career further within the area of childhood and adolescent diabetes.

We are a team of 2 administrative staff, 1 Health Care Assistant, 4 diabetes specialist nurses, 1 full time band 7 lead diabetes specialist dietitian, 1 clinical psychologist and 1 assistant psychologist who support our children and families with diabetes alongside our Paediatric Diabetes Consultants.
