Description

A great opportunity has arisen for someone with a keen interest in Nutrition, to join the Harrow Community team based at Alexander Avenue in Harrow.

The Harrow, Community Dietetic Service, provides an extensive GP clinic service, to all practices in Harrow, where children and Adults are seen for a range of conditions.

You will be involved in the booking of patient appointments and liaising with the GP practice staff.

The team specialises, in Home Enteral Nutrition, seeing patients in their own homes or Nursing homes across Harrow. Housebound patients are also provided with care, in their own home or care homes.

You will be involved in carrying out Home-visits, alongside a Dietitian or to carry out a weight with specialist equipment.

You will be developed to undertake dietetic reviews, under the supervision of a Dietitian.

Training Health care professionals and carrying out patient education sessions, is also a key area of work, where you may be required to support the work of the Dietitian, in delivering education or training sessions.

Harrow has a diverse population, with a wide selection of nutrition related conditions are prevalent within the Community.

A car driver is essential, but you do not need to own a car. However, you will have access to a shared car, for your use.
