Dietitian

We will support you to develop skills across inpatients and outpatients including clinics and group education. If you are a newly qualified Dietitian in your first year of practice, we have a Preceptorship programme to help support development of your skills and confidence as an autonomous practitioner.

You will have the opportunity to work with experienced Dietitians and the Advanced Clinical Specialist Dietitian for renal as well as within the renal multi-professional team. You will also work alongside other Band 5 Dietitians, Dietetic Support Workers and Assistant Practitioners, to provide inpatient services across other areas, including General Medicine, Stroke, Gastroenterology, Care of the Elderly and Cancer.

Within the acute setting, in addition to oral nutrition support, you will be able to develop clinical skills working with patients requiring enteral tube feeding and parenteral nutrition. Outpatient clinic work will include interventions for the management of those with reduced kidney function (General Nephrology) and those with urological conditions. Experience with nutritional screening and assessment will be gained including anthropometry measurements. There is great opportunity to be involved and develop group education sessions for our renal patients.

The successful candidate will be involved in these important aspects of supporting the learning and development of others.
