Job description
Are you an enthusiastic dietitian looking for an exciting, varied role within an acute hospital setting? Whether you're newly qualified, finishing you...
You will be part of a supportive, forward thinking team of Dietitians and Assistant Practitioners who are enthusiastic about providing high quality dietetic care and are working on a range of service improvement projects to maximise effectiveness. We are focused on delivering the highest quality care to our patients, both in the hospital setting and on discharge. You will be confident in working within a variety of multidisciplinary teams and advocating for the best nutritional care for the patient. Our Trust uses electronic documentation systems to help facilitate efficient working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Excellent communication, organisational and time management skills are required.
Whilst a car is not essential flexibility is required in order to facilitate cover for the caseload across our hospital sites.
The Trust is committed to providing a 7 day therapy service with participation in bank holiday cover for dietetics.
The Trust is a multi-site organisation, you may be required to work at any of the Trust sites and you may need to change your normal place of work, either temporarily or on a permanent basis, as a result of development or reorganisation of Trust services.
We would support applicants looking for part time or full time hours.

As such we want to attract and recruit talented individuals from all backgrounds, and for each of you to feel supported for the diversity you bring, to achieve your full potential.
