Dietitian

An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic dietitian to join our friendly and dynamic team at The South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

We have rotational posts based across our 3 hospital bases. Our service covers the 2 main hospital sites - the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton and The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough, in addition to our community services across the Redcar and Cleveland community locality and the Hambleton & Richmond community locality.

Main duties of the job

The acute rotations include experience within specialities such as stroke, neurology, cardiology, general and respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, orthopaedics, older people's medicine and spinal injuries.

The community rotations include nutritional support, diabetes, enteral feeding, gastroenterology and paediatrics in community clinics, community wards and care homes. You will be involved in the delivery of group education sessions to patients and their carers.

The postholder will also be regularly involved in the education of other health care professionals, care home staff and support workers.

You will be given supervision and support from experienced Dietitians to enable you to develop your skills and gain experience in specialist areas. You will undertake a one year preceptorship programme.

We encourage staff to get involved in exploring new ways of working and service developments, with opportunities for CPD along the way.

After a period of 6 months, and following clinical supervisory skills training, you would be fully involved in the training of student Dietitians.

Due to the nature of some of the rotations you will need to be able to travel across the South Tees and Hambleton and Richmondshire localities.

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust have come together to form University Hospitals Tees. As a result, post holders may be required to work across sites within both organisations.
