Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
The post holder will support registered dietetic staff in the provision of the dietetic service to inpatients and outpatients. They will review the patients nutritional intake after assessment and plan made by the registered dietitian. They may make alterations to nutritional care plans (within protocols and scope of practice) as they monitor patient progression.
Any patient falling outside their scope of practice, or who are deteriorating, are referred onto the registered dietitian. The post holder will regularly work independently with the supervision of a registered dietitian.
Within the team we are keen to offer progression towards Dietetic Apprenticeship as able. This role would then be the perfect stepping stone to this.
