Opening Paragraph:
We are looking for a Band 6 Locum Dietitian to join the Adult Dietetics Team at the Wembley Centre for Health & Care. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly skilled and motivated dietitian to work in a community-based setting, providing expert nutrition and dietetic advice to adults with a range of long-term conditions, including diabetes, coeliac disease, and obesity.

You will be responsible for assessing patient needs, developing personalized dietary plans, and providing ongoing support to help patients manage their conditions. You will also work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive care and improve patient outcomes.

• Proven experience providing dietetic advice to adults in a clinical or community setting

• Experience with outpatient clinics and providing virtual consultations (telephone-based)
