Job Summary

Diabetes Specialist Dietitian Development post (Annex 21) – a 30‑hour part‑time role for a dietitian who wants to develop expertise in diabetes care.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative dietitian with some existing post‑registration experience. If you have not yet gained experience in this specialty, we will consider you to undergo a one‑year training competency framework under Annex 21 Band 6. During that year you will obtain the relevant training and experience to meet the full competency framework of this Band 6 role and will then be able to undertake all duties within this specialist dietitian job description.

The Diabetes Dietitians work as part of a team of 30+ acute dietitians across Nutrition Support, Gastroenterology, Stroke, Oncology and Diabetes, and with a team of 13 dietetic support and admin staff. We actively participate in the dietetic student training programme for Wales and are piloting the new BDA Common Assessment Tool.

Core department hours are 8:30–16:30, but we work flexibly and can adjust working hours to fit around personal commitments.
