Cardiff and Vale University Health Board
Are you a band 5 dietitian looking for the next step in your career, or a band 6 dietitian looking for a fresh challenge?
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has an exciting opportunity to join our Band 6 Rotation. The band 6 rotation aims to develop clinical and professional knowledge and skills through a wide variety of rotations and is ideally suited to those who wish to develop their dietetic skills globally rather than specialise in one particular clinical area. The rotations include: ITU, Oncology, Gastroenterology, Renal, Paediatrics, Community Rehabilitation, Stroke, Neurosurgery and HIV. Each of the rotations has a clinical supervisor to support your personal development through a series of competencies during the rotation to ensure a thorough and structured approach to learning.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will demonstrate excellent relationship management skills and a practical, forward-thinking approach to service development and evaluation and the ability to work in a team. You will work within a friendly and highly skilled department providing secondary and tertiary care and have numerous opportunities for professional and personal development. The team is committed to providing a seven-day service to the hospital. You will be actively involved in the research, audit, and the Clinical Governance agenda of the department and Health Board.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
