Job description

The Nutrition and Dietetics Service at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust is growing following investment, and we are delighted to offer this opportunity to join our team.

Our belief is that dietitians, nutrition nurses, and support staff:

1. Enable recovery
2. Empower quality of life
3. Bring independence and dignity to our patients

We are seeking an innovative, motivated individual who values MDT working and is keen to develop within a growing department. This Band 5 dietitian position primarily involves working with inpatients in elderly care, trauma and orthopaedics, or general medicine. There are also additional clinical attachment opportunities across surgery, stroke, medicine, gastroenterology, and oncology, along with a community rotation working with patients with various medical conditions on oral and enteral feeding pathways. All Band 5 roles include an outpatient component and are supported by senior staff and peers.

Joining our service now offers significant opportunities, especially with our upcoming move to the new Midlands Metropolitan University Hospital, which will open further development pathways.

This role provides broad experience through dietetic attachments, allowing you to expand your knowledge and passion across diverse working environments. We offer six-month attachments, with options in both acute and community settings, tailored to your professional needs and interests. Our attachments align with the BDA preceptorship framework, emphasizing professional development and peer support. Our team is friendly, supportive, and committed to your growth, providing internal and external training, including access to the Black Country preceptorship program for newly qualified professionals.

Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust serves Birmingham and the Black Country, one of the most culturally diverse areas in the country. We are a welcoming community where you can belong and grow.

Our values—Ambition, Respect, and Compassion—are central to our work, guiding how we care for patients, respect diversity, and support our staff. Our purpose is to “Improve the Life Chances and Health Outcomes of our Population,” inspiring us daily.
