Description

THIS POST IS FIXED TERM/SECONDMENT FOR 12 MONTHS DUE TO MATERNITY COVER

Are you an enthusiastic and dynamic Dietitian with excellent team-working skills? An opportunity has arisen to join our forward thinking and dynamic Dietetic community team across Hywel Dda to address malnutrition as part of our Malnutrition business case.

The service has received significant investment in addressing malnutrition and as a result, this post offers an exciting opportunity to work collaboratively with the wider community team to address malnutrition in the community setting as well as supporting exciting and innovative project work such as self-screening for malnutrition, virtual clinics, digital platforms and new ways of working.

The post-holder will carry a complex caseload of community nutritional support patients and will also engage with multi-professional GP led team meetings to embed nutritional care and provide expert nutritional advice and support to the wider team on nutritional screening, referral pathways
and nutritional care planning. Training and education will be a key part of this role.

This post offers the ability for agile home working balanced with the opportunity to be based on site (at least one day per week).

The post holder will undertake community visits, attend MDT meetings and attend
anywhere or face to face clinics.

As a service we pride ourselves on being a supportive team and welcome applicants wishing to discuss opportunities for flexible and remote working.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
