Job overview
Are you passionate about supporting children and families to live healthier, happier lives? Do you enjoy working closely with parents, GPs, and other healthcare professionals to make a real difference in your community? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
At Sutton Health and Care, we’re on a mission to deliver seamless, high-quality care right at the heart of the community. We’re looking for a dedicated Children’s Community Dietitian to join our friendly team at Green Wrythe Clinic.
What makes this role special
- You’ll be part of a small, supportive team of 3 dietitians.
- You’ll work closely with our Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Physiotherapists – all based in the same building, so collaboration really is part of daily life.
- All your clinics are run from Green Wrythe Clinic (no endless travelling around Sutton).
- Free on-site parking and just a short walk from St Helier Hospital.
- You’ll have the option of flexible hours (8 to 4, 9 to 5 or something that works for you and the service).
- Training opportunities at Epsom and St Helier, so you can keep your skills sharp.

- Ongoing training and CPD opportunities (including ARFID).
- A collaborative, friendly MDT environment.
- NHS benefits, discounts and wellbeing support.
About you
We’re looking for someone who:
- Is HCPC-registered with a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics.
- Has experience in paediatric nutrition (bonus points if you’ve worked with infants and families in a community setting).
- Brings excellent communication skills and a person-centred approach.
