We require a HPC Registered Dietitian to join our friendly department of Dietitians providing the nutrition and dietetic service to Hounslow Borough.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in Community Dietetics in a supportive environment. In the wider Dietetic team, we have specialist areas such as cardiology and paediatrics.
We are committed to your continued professional development and the department provides an extensive training programme for professionals and clients.
Due to the requirement to travel around Hounslow Borough, it is desirable that you have your own means of transport.
If you have a questioning mind, can demonstrate your teamwork experience, and have an interest in developing your career in an effective joint acute/community team, we look forward to receiving your application.
