    Job description

    Job responsibilities

    The All-Age Eating Disorder Service is based across the county at George Turle House, Canterbury, and The Courtyard (Maidstone), with Specialist support offered to the Kent Adolescent Mental Health unit (Staplehurst). Geographically, we support the county of Kent and Medway, so the ability to travel is essential. You would be supported by a highly experienced Dietetic Team to advance your career and further your skills.

    The post holder would assist qualified dietitians in the delivery of the therapy service to a specified caseload of patients and to work under direct supervision, undertaking group education that fall within the remit of non complex cases. This can include carrying own caseload of non-complex patients and devising and implementing treatment programmes with a qualified dietitian. Furthermore, assisting qualified staff with the management of ongoing more complex cases. We would also envisage this new role as a supportive role for patients near recovery, supporting with eating out and liaising with school for smooth transitions.

    We are a mobile working service and offer our patients the choice of face-to-face, virtual and phone appointments. To support this, we have excellent IT access and support staff home-working where appropriate.

    We are continually striving to improve the service we offer to our patients and embrace new ways of working. It is an exciting time to join our service for opportunities of development and growth and we can offer you a varied and interesting caseload within mental health.

    We are looking for enthusiastic, skilled, and committed dietitian assistant to join our forward-thinking team.
