Are you interested in the nutritional assessment and optimisation of patients with oesophageal and gastric cancer? Would you like the opportunity to work on a project delivering specific outcomes and facilitating cancer treatment decisions?
Due to successful funding from Greater Manchester Cancer, we are delighted to advertise for a temporary part-time Band 7 Oesophago-gastric dietetic role. You will be working as a member of the Greater Manchester Oesophago-gastric Surgical Multi-Disciplinary Team, based at GM OG surgical centre at Salford Care Organisation delivering a one stop OG cancer assessment clinic.
The role will sit within our Gastro Dietetic Team with an ACP, 15 Dietitians, 3 dietetic assistants, and admin and clerical staff. The team assesses and manages patients with both foregut and hindgut diagnoses. You would form part of the wider Salford dietetic team, which consists of nearly 70 team members across acute and community including assistants and admin.
You will lead on the delivery of the one stop OG assessment clinic, working alongside the Greater Manchester Oesophago-gastric Multi-Disciplinary Team including Surgeon, Oncologist, Clinical Nurse specialists, Psychologist, Anaesthetist/Intensivist and the Prehab4Cancer team. Your caseload will be predominantly UGI out-patients but with involvement of the inpatient caseload on the surgical and critical care ward as needed.
We require a dynamic leader to join our established UGI senior team who is adaptable, motivated and compassionate to work within this established service. It is essential that you are skilled in working as part of a multidisciplinary team specifically large scale MDTs in relevant oncological tumour groups. Experience of assessing and managing patients independently in an acute and outpatient setting is essential. You will be supporting patients throughout their early cancer diagnosis and treatment pathway and beyond so excellent communication skills and flexibility are essential qualities.
We are an innovative department so the role will include elements of research, service development, audit, and quality improvement. You will be expected to lead/co-lead in these areas and on the one stop clinic to ensure high quality care, collect and analyse outcomes and drive forward improvements.
