Description

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 patients including those on home enteral feeds and will support the nutritional management of patients with malnutrition across the patient pathway.

This will involve the delivery of nutritional support clinics.

Training and education will be a central part of this role as well as supporting student training and the development and implementation of our Dietetic Assistant Practitioner roles.

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