Successful candidates will work as part of the multi-disciplinary team including medical, nursing and other AHP colleagues. You will work within a larger clinical team of dietitians and receive excellent peer support and opportunities for personal and professional development. You will also participate in the Scottish student clinical placement programme.
You will have a BSc in Dietetics or equivalent and be registered with the HCPC. We invite applications if you can demonstrate a core knowledge of nutrition and growth with evidence of relevant work experience and post graduate training/CPD either in paediatrics or other relevant specialties such as complex nutrition support.
