An opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 Community Dietitian to join one of our friendly Tayside teams. The post offers an excellent opportunity to deliver a wide range of community based nutritional care with an emphasis on nutrition support in Perthshire community settings including GP practices, patients’ homes and care homes.
