Summary
A position for a Band 6 Renal Dietitian has become available. Working alongside a Band 7 Lead Renal Dietitian, you will have a clinical remit to Home Haemodialysis patients, Inpatients on the Transplant Wards for both kidney and kidney / pancreas and OP Clinics. The Dietetic Renal service has a remit to Haemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis and EPS services, so knowledge and/or experience of these areas is advantageous.
This is an onsite, clinical post at Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH). The Cambridge Dialysis centre is off site from the main hospital, so the ability to travel to this Unit is required.

However, this does not guarantee you will be shortlisted to interview in the event of large application numbers at Band 6.
