Tayside Nutrition and Dietetic Service
Angus Community Dietetic Team
Band 6 Specialist Dietitian
Abbey Health Centre, Arbroath or Parkview Primary Care Centre, Carnoustie
Could you work as part of a multi-disciplinary team committed to improving the health of people living in Angus?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a band 6 specialist community dietitian. This post offers an excellent opportunity to deliver a wide range of community based nutritional care with an emphasis on nutrition support in community settings including GP practices, patients’ homes and care homes. The post will cover the Arbroath, Carnoustie and Monifieth areas including support to the community Home Enteral Feeding service. The post holder will also be responsible for the supervision of dietetic support workers and a band 5 rotational dietitian as well as being actively involved in training dietetic students. Excellent team working and communication skills are therefore essential in this role, as is the ability to work independently.
The successful candidate will be expected to work closely with other health and care colleagues, taking a pro-active approach to the clinical care of patients, service improvement and pathway development. The Angus community dietetic team have a number of offices across the region.
This post would ideally suit a band 6 dietitian with experience or an experienced band 5 ready to progress in a community setting.
The Tayside Nutrition & Dietetic Service promotes collaborative working across all our teams. This enables and encourages the development and implementation of pathways, standards and innovative practice. It also allows for extensive peer support and opportunities for professional development. We are committed to the training of dietetic students, medical students and other healthcare professionals.
