We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and motivated Dietitian to join our Dietetics Team at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability. Primarily based within our Brain Injury Service (neuro-rehabilitation), you will play a key role as a senior member of the interdisciplinary team, contributing to the delivery of high-quality, holistic, patient-centred care. The role will also involve providing support across our Ventilator and Continuing Care Services as required.

Nutrition is a key priority at RHN, with many of our patients experiencing dysphagia and complex nutritional needs. Approximately 70% of our patients receive nutrition via gastrostomy tubes, making enteral feeding an important part of the role. This is a fantastic opportunity to use and develop your specialist clinical skills while working collaboratively with a dedicated multidisciplinary team to make a meaningful difference to the lives of people with complex neurological disabilities.

Our team are looking to hold interviews on Wednesday 11th November 2026.

Underpinned by a strong research and education framework, the RHN is more than a hospital; it is a vibrant community where residents engage in music, art, and holistic support to achieve the best possible quality of life.
