Are you looking for a new challenge and want to work in a dynamic and forward-thinking team? Then we have just the job for you. We are currently looking to recruit a 1.0wte Band 5 Head and Neck Dietitian for 14 months.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and flexible Dietitian who enjoys team working and has experience in nutrition support and enteral feeing to join the Head and Neck team at Queen Elizabeth Hospital (University Hospitals Birmingham).

This is the regional head and neck centre in the West Midlands and covers both inpatients and outpatients focusing supporting patients throughout their cancer journey through surgery, radiotherapy, rehabilitation, palliation and late effects. This caseload will also include non-cancer ENT and maxillo facial patients.

The successful candidate should work well in a MDT and strives for a high level of excellence and will be involved in audits, service evaluations and research to improve patient care.

If this post is for you, come and develop your clinical, multi- professional and audit skills, knowledge and practice with the dietetic team at QEHB.

The dietetic department at QEHB has a robust CPD program, and is committed to providing excellent line management, supervision/support, specialist training and other forms of continuous professional development.

This caseload includes an inpatient and out patient caseload, including MDT clinics and home enteral feeding. We have a close working relationship with other MDT members and therefore joint assessments with clinical nurse specialists and speech and language therapists are encouraged with both inpatient and outpatients. The successful candidate will be expected to attend regular MDTs and ward rounds.

The successful candidate will also be involved in audits, service evaluations and projects with the aim of presenting the results nationally at conferences.

The successful candidate will be supported by an experienced Head and Neck Dietitian and by the wider MDT.
