An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the growing team of over 30 Dietitians in York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, as a Dietitian based at Scarborough Hospital. You will be joining a forward-thinking department which is valued and respected throughout the Trust, and crosses many specialties.

We will support you to develop skills across many areas of acute hospital work, and if you are a newly qualified Dietitian in your first year of practice, we have a Preceptorship programme to help support development of your skills and confidence as an autonomous practitioner.

The ability to transport yourself and equipment across the locality during the course of a normal working day is required for this vacancy.

You will have the opportunity to work with many experienced Dietitians, as well as within broader multi-professional teams. You will be working within a small, growing team, based at Scarborough Hospital, with the wider support of other Dietitians, Dietetic Support Workers and Assistant Practitioners based at the York site, and together you will provide inpatient services across areas including; general medicine, surgery, stroke, gastroenterology, care of the elderly, cancer and renal disease.

Within the acute setting, in addition to oral nutrition support, you will be able to develop clinical skills working with patients requiring enteral tube feeding and parenteral nutrition.

You will mainly be working within Scarborough Hospital, however there will also be the opportunity to work cross-site when required, including at York and Bridlington Hospital.

The department places a strong emphasis on clinical and peer support and clinical supervision, and has a well-established programme facilitating the training of dietetic students on the three clinical placements included within their training. We are also involved in delivering a variety of rolling training programmes for other healthcare professionals across the Trust, relating to nutritional care.
