Full time (37.5 hours per week) | Nine month fixed term contract.
We have a fantastic opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic dietitian to join our Adult Acute Dietetic Team at the James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as a Band 6 Macmillan Dietitian. We are a small and friendly team that includes a range of dietitians from senior to newly qualified, dietetic assistant practitioners, dietetic assistants, and secretarial support.
Macmillan has funded an oncology-focused position which will enhance the service to patients with a diagnosed cancer and will provide specialist oncology dietetic advice and intervention throughout the cancer pathway. The successful candidate will be providing specialist care to patients from various tumour sites during all stages of the cancer pathway in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. As the role is a fixed term position, monitoring key performance indicators and collecting outcome measures will be essential from the outset to support the business case development for a substantive post.
