Lead front-door dietetics where clinical decisions matter most!

We’re looking for a Senior Specialist Dietitian to take a leading role within our Front Door Services at Weston General Hospital - supporting patients at the most critical point in their hospital journey.

This is not a routine acute role. You’ll be:

  • making rapid, complex clinical decisions
  • influencing admission pathways and patient flow
  • leading the dietetic care of patients from front door and admission wards
  • shaping how dietetics is delivered at the earliest stage of care

This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role combining clinical expertise, leadership, and service development.


Who is this role for?


Senior Dietitians looking for:

  • greater clinical autonomy
  • the chance to lead and influence pathways
  • a role where your decisions directly impact patient outcomes at pace

We welcome strong Band 6 applicants who have had leadership responsibilities plus experience in managing complex caseloads & service improvement or project work.

For an informal chat, please contact: sian.inson@uhbw.nhs.uk


What you’ll be doing:

  • Managing a complex front-door caseload with rapid clinical decision-making
  • Identifying & treating nutritional risk early, supporting patient flow & admission avoidance
  • Working closely with frailty teams, consultants, & MDTs
  • Leading development of the front door dietetic pathway
  • Line managing & supporting junior staff
  • Contributing to audit, service improvement, & training


What makes this role different?


As the lead dietitian across ED, assessment units, & admissions, you will:

  • take ownership of a fast-paced, high-impact caseload
  • influence decisions at the point of admission
  • support admission avoidance through early intervention
  • act as the clinical expert in complex nutrition support (including enteral feeding)
  • shape & develop a growing front door service


Leadership & impact


You’ll play a key leadership role within the team, including:

  • Line management & supervision of junior staff
  • Supporting student training and workforce development
  • Leading audit, service improvement, & pathway redesign
  • Developing guidelines, protocols, and resource

Why Weston General Hospital?

Weston offers something different compared to larger centres:

  • Greater autonomy – your voice is heard and your decisions shape services

  • Real opportunity to influence and innovate within a developing front door model


All of this in a coastal location, with easy access to Bristol and Bath - giving you both lifestyle & career opportunity.
