Opening Paragraph:
We are looking for a Band 6 Locum Dietitian to join the Adult Dietetics Team at the Wembley Centre for Health & Care.

You will be responsible for assessing patient needs, developing personalized dietary plans, and providing ongoing support to help patients manage their conditions.
