Trosolwg o'r swydd

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a substantive band 6 Dietitian to join the LYPFT Learning Disability (LD) Service. We are looking for a dynamic Dietitian, keen to work with learning disabled adults who require specialist health support due to complex physical, sensory, communication and behavioral impairments. 

We would welcome applications from suitably experienced dietitians, including band 5’s who are ready for a step up into a band 6 position or existing band 6’s who would like to experience a new clinical area. The successful candidate will receive support from the Clinical Lead Dietitian and work alongside experienced Dietetic Associate Practitioners. 

The successful candidate will be based within the East North EAST team of our Community Learning Disability Teams (CLDT). You will be a key member of the team working within a diverse and forward-thinking MDT which includes the following professionals: Dietitians, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Nurses, Psychologists, Psychiatrists and Support Workers. The Learning Disabilities dietetic team is made up of Band 7 Clinical Lead, Band 6 and Dietetic Associate Practitioners.

You will manage your own caseload which will include service users with a range of dietetic needs including weight management, diabetes, nutrition support and enteral feeding. You will also work closely with a range of health and social care partners, including the private and voluntary sectors, and adult social care. You will have the opportunity to deliver training and education sessions for service users, carers, families and other healthcare professionals as part of your role. There will also be opportunities for service development within the team and Trust wide.

You will be joining an innovative and growing Trust wide dietetic community of 28 Dietitians, Dietetic Associate Practitioners and Dietetic Assistants. As part of your role you will have regular clinical and management supervision, attend local AHP Forums, monthly Trust wide dietetic meetings and have access to peer support alongside other development opportunities. We work closely with Leeds Beckett University and in partnership with Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust delivering student placements and as an organisation we are keen to support research and development activities.

If you are a Dietitian interested in supporting people under a holistic health and social model of care, working closely with the MDT to advocate the physical health needs of a complex client group, this could be the post for you.
