Join to apply for the Paediatric Eating Disorders Dietitian role at Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

We have a new and exciting opportunity immediately available for a full-time Band 6 Dietitian who is looking to work with children with eating disorders (including ARFID) in a community out-patient setting; a developmental opportunity may be offered to a successful candidate with less experience. The post will serve the population of NE Hampshire and will be split between our clinic in Aldershot and our base in Epsom.

We are a high performing, dynamic and supportive team and therefore very able to meet and surpass our local and national clinical targets, whilst still ensuring we put the young people and families at the heart of what we do. The Service is CARE Excellence Accredited.

This post is appropriate for those who have some paediatric experience who wish to develop skills within mental health, or those with some mental health experience looking to develop their paediatric skills.

The ideal candidate will be confident in carrying out dietary assessments of children and working with families, and have a good working knowledge of refeeding dietary advice and the MEED Guidelines.

• Carry out dietary assessments of children and work with families.
• Apply refeeding dietary advice and the MEED Guidelines.
• Contribute to multi‑disciplinary assessment and reviews of outpatients.

• Support and supervise student dietitians as part of the wider Nutrition & Dietetic team.
• Engage with the wider community to improve mental wellbeing.

Monday – Friday (flexibly between 8‑6). Application for flexible working or reduced hours are welcome.
