      Job summary

      PTHB is excited to recruit a permanent Mid/ South Band 5 Community dietitian covering Brecon, Ystradgynlais and Bronllys and Llandrindod Wells. In the heart of beautiful mid Wales, Powys Dietetics team aims to deliver expert and flexible nutritional care to local community. You could be a new graduate, or B5 seeking wider experience, and will have opportunity to manage a diverse clinical caseload covering inpatients, clinics, home enteral feeding, care homes and public health in an agreed job plan. You will be well supported by committed and experienced colleagues, and encouraged with structured development to prepare for advancement to B6 roles by our Dietetics leadership team working in many areas of dietetics. We encourage everyone to take an active part in clinical and service improvement, and opportunities for supervision and learning will be supported.

The service actively supports student training from Cardiff and Glyndwr Universities.

      Digital infrastructure is well developed in Powys to meet demand and success of remote consultation, though face to face contacts can be arranged as clinically appropriate. A car driver is essential for this post. English and/ or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply, though Welsh speaking is desirable

  • About the company

      National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
