Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ambitious registered Nutritionist to develop their clinical skills and work in a large multi-disciplinary obesity team.


Here at GSTT, we have a close-knit team of dietitians, dietetic assistants, nutritionists, physiotherapy, doctors, psychology, psychotherapy and technical instructors.

This is an exciting new role that we have opened up to registered clinical nutritionists, to support our 1:1 services and delivery of group education.


You will play a key role in assessing new patients coming into the obesity service, requiring strong people skills and advanced nutrition clinical skills.

This role will sit alongside two other band 5 nutrition roles, where you will be involved in delegating of tasks to the wider dietetic assistant team, as well as line managing more junior members of the assistant team.


You will deliver one-to-one clinical services, as well as group interventions virtually and face to face across South East London.

You will also contribute to service development and operational meetings.


You can choose to work remotely from home for some of the week, from the hospital, or a combination of both, delivering the online interventions, as well as delivering face-to-face groups at community sites across South East London.

You will work 09:00-17:00 three days per week, and 11:30-19:30 two days per week.


You must have a depth of experience of delivering behaviour change interventions to groups of patients with significantly complex health challenges, and be confident to do this using virtual platforms.

You should have experience of delivering interventions to people from the Black African and Black Caribbean communities. You must have a developed understanding of weight bias and stigma in both healthcare and everyday life.


You will be joining a large department with over 150 dietitians and assistants, psychologists, nutrition nurses, administrators, and project and operational managers.

There is a wealth of opportunity for support, learning and development.
