Trosolwg o'r swydd

If you are seeking a rare and rewarding opportunity as a Clinical Lead Dietitian within a forensic mental health service, this role offers the chance to develop both clinical and leadership skills in a supportive environment. Working in a forensic setting is unique, and you will be supported to build the specialist knowledge required.

The Forensic Services at St Bernard’s Hospital, Ealing, include specialist women’s and men’s services across low and medium secure settings. You will join an established Occupational Therapy and Allied Health Professionals (AHP) team delivering physical healthcare.

You will manage referrals and a caseload of service users requiring dietetic intervention, while leading projects to improve health and wellbeing and supervising a small dietetic team.

The wider AHP team includes occupational therapists, assistants, activity coordinators, recovery support workers, dietitians, speech and language therapists, and physiotherapists. You will be supported by the Head of Occupational Therapy and AHP and the Rehabilitation Lead, and will join a Trust-wide network of mental health dietitians for peer support and development.

As forensics is a specialist area, an open morning will be part of the recruitment process. You will meet staff and service users, learn about the service, and visit the site. The open morning and panel interview will take place on 16/04/2026 from 10:00–12:00, so please ensure full availability.

Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

You will carry a clinical caseload, delivering a range of individual and group interventions to develop service users’ skills and functional abilities in line with recovery-focused principles and practice.

This role offers the opportunity to develop both clinical and leadership skills, with full training and support provided to help you succeed. Clear clinical models and pathways are in place to support service users as they move from acute wards into rehabilitation and onward to community living, with occupational performance central to readiness for each stage of recovery.

You will play a key role in optimising service users’ physical health, ensuring they are able to benefit fully from available treatment options. You will also lead and contribute to service-wide initiatives that promote health and wellbeing, working collaboratively with AHP colleagues, catering, exercise, and primary healthcare teams.

The role includes opportunities to deliver training to staff on nutrition and nutritional screening. As part of a supportive AHP service, you will have access to a strong CPD programme, with shared learning and clinical excellence at its core.

You will work closely with OT and rehabilitation staff, requiring strong leadership, mentoring, and coaching skills. Responsibilities include supervising dietetic team members, contributing to teaching programmes, and supporting student placements to help develop the future workforce.
