Dietitian

Job summary

Were recruiting a Specialist Bariatric Clinician (band 6-7) to join the Phoenix Health Multi-Disciplinary Team. Experience managing patients who have had bariatric surgery and/or previous experience in a weight management service is desirable, but not essential. For us it is more important that we find an individual with a strong work ethic and outstanding interpersonal and team skills. We can provide supervised specialist training (including extended clinical roles) for the right person. The salary range offered reflects our willingness to consider both highly skilled and less experienced candidates.

The Phoenix Health group also includes the Semapen business as part of its suite of weight management services, delivering an online GLP-1 programme. Whilst this is not compulsory experience for the Specialist Bariatric Clinician, it may suit a candidate with some interest in this area as part of the role.

Main duties of the job

Main roles will include working closely with fellow bariatric dietitians, nurses and our surgeons in outpatient clinics (predominantly remote with some face to face). The ideal candidate will also have a key role in multi-disciplinary team meetings that discuss new referrals, formulate treatment plans and manage post-op complications. After a period of training, the candidate will hold their own busy case load, but are expected to work with and support colleagues at all times to ensure seamless pre and post-op patient care and education. Inpatient visits prior to patient discharge also form part of this role as well as taking part in a bariatric patient telephone support service (on call).
