Are you interested in joining an innovative, high profile and dynamic dietetic team of over 50 staff? We are seeking a self-motivated Band 5 Dietitian to join our team.

The position will enable you to develop your skills in a variety of different specialities.

Due to internal promotions we have a vacancy within our Band 5 Team.

We are a large friendly department providing high quality nutritional care to patients across all areas of our Trust. We have close links with universities - King's College London, London Metropolitan University, and University College London. As a department we are involved in student training and take students on placement 2 and 3. We are committed to appraisal and continued professional development.
