An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated dietitian to join our team of 36 at The Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust in Guildford. This post is 12 months fixed-term for maternity leave cover.
You will join a forward thinking dietetic team which undertakes the training of student dietitians, and also focuses on research and audit in its areas of activity to promote clinical effectiveness in patient care. You will be encouraged to develop both personally and professionally, with the chance to shadow and learn from specialist oncology dietitians.
If you are an HCPC registered dietitian with experience and a strong interest in oncology, looking for an opportunity to develop your skills within a friendly and supportive team, we would love to hear from you.
Main duties of the job
The post-holder will work within our established H& N oncology dietetic teams, providing support to both inpatients and outpatients undergoing cancer treatment at St Luke's Cancer Centre. The primary focus of this role will be to support the H& N Oncology dietetic team but there will be an opportunity to support and gain experience with the other specialty teams in the department. You will have a very varied caseload and will work within several MDTs. You will be expected to provide high quality nutritional care both in face-to-face and telephone clinics.
About us
Royal Surrey is a compassionate and collaborative acute and community Trust. Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career. Our diverse and welcoming Royal Surrey family will ensure you that you feel valued from your initial interview through your entire tenure.
We are clinically led and provide joined up care by bridging the gap between hospital and community services alongside regional specialist cancer care. Our main acute hospital site is in Guildford with community hospital sites at Milford, Haslemere and Cranleigh. We provide adult community health services in homes across Guildford and Waverley.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have given us an overall rating of Outstanding.
Royal Surrey has a strong reputation and history to build on. We are proud of our achievements and we are investing in our colleagues through our commitment to supporting professional development as well as investing more than £45 million in our physical environment and new equipment in the next few years. There has never been a better time to join us.
Although it isn't the Trusts normal practice, adverts may close early, so you are encouraged to submit an application as soon as possible.
