Diabetes Specialist Dietitian Development post (Annex 21)

Job overview

Are you a Dietitian looking to develop your skills in the rewarding speciality of Diabetes?  We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative dietitian with some existing post registration experience to join us for a one year fixed term opportunity due to cover a maternity leave within the team.

We will support your development within this role via our CPD programme and regular reviews with the relevant Lead Dietitians.  Funding to complete related courses e.g. DAFNE educator, or relevant BDA courses will be provided.

Whilst some previous experience and post registration training in this speciality is ideal, we will consider those who haven't, to undertake a one-year training competency framework under Annex 21 Band 6.  During this year you will obtain the relevant training and experience to meet the full competency framework of this Band 6 role and will be able to undertake all duties within this specialist dietitian job description.

This post is a part time (22.5 hours a week) fixed term contract until 1st November 2025 to cover the needs of the service.

Main duties of the job

Your role will primarily involve dietetic care of Diabetes patients in the outpatient setting across ABUHB via a mixture of face to face, video and telephone clinics and group education in face to face groups or via MS Teams.  However you will also have some opportunity to cover inpatient work alongside the Diabetes Inpatient Care multidisciplinary team in the acute hospital setting.  The base for this role will be agreed with the successful candidate as we have diabetes specialist dietitians and supportive multidisciplinary teams working from all four acute hospital sites in Gwent.

We are a team of 30+ dietitians working across the specialities of Nutrition Support, Gastroenterology, Stroke, Oncology and Diabetes and work with a team of 14 dietetic support and admin staff.  We  actively participate in the dietetic student training programme for Wales.

Our core department hours are 8.30 - 4.30 but we work flexibly and within our guidance there will be scope for you to adjust working hours to fit around personal commitments.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
