Job Summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a PCN Dietitian to work alongside the existing Senior Dietitian within Wythenshawe PCN. Primary care networks (PCNs) focus on the wider health of their population, taking a proactive approach to managing population health.

The role will principally involve delivering in-person clinics (both 1:1 and small groups) within GP practices and other community settings. Collaborating with the existing dietitian, you will review, adapt, and develop the service to reduce barriers to access and engagement.

Main Duties

The role aims to deliver a dietetic service tailored to the diverse needs of local community service-users, evolving with changing patient needs and priorities. You will work autonomously as an experienced practitioner, engaging with a wider team of primary care and community professionals.

• Re-establish and run clinical sessions for 1:1 patient care and small group workshops.
• Deliver services in various settings, including community clinics, GP surgeries, patients' homes, community venues, and group settings.
• Promote the dietitian role within GP surgeries and the wider network by attending meetings and networking events with community services and neighborhood teams.
