We are a small and friendly team that includes a range of dietitians from senior to newly qualified, dietetic assistants and secretarial support. Professional development is encouraged and supported through supervision and objective setting. You will be allocated time for studying and shadowing experienced senior dietitians.
We are a department inclusive of dietitians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and assistants, creating a truly integrated environment with great relationships between the different disciplines and teams.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, innovative, and proactive dietitian, with good clinical knowledge, communication, and team working skills. This could be a great opportunity to continue to develop your current skills.

All dietitians are actively involved in student training and host training for placement students from The University of Hertfordshire. You will be actively involved in these training programmes and in the development, implementation, and audit of patient care practices as part of clinical governance. There will also be opportunities to develop supervisory skills through mentoring junior members of the team.
