With colleagues who are forward thinking and innovative?



Where you will be valued and encouraged to develop and succeed?



Then we would love to invite you to apply for this position!



A rare opportunity has arisen to join our friendly, enthusiastic and motivated team of Renal dietitians. They play a key role in the Renal services for the local area, from acute management to outpatient care and support.



Our Dietetics team has a strong ethos of support, leadership and collaboration. We have recently experienced a lot of internal promotions and have welcomed back old staff members that missed working with such a fantastic group of people. We have regular social events including shared lunches, summer picnics, baking competitions and holiday quizzes.



We are committed to supporting ongoing personal and professional development of our staff and you would be provided with regular CPD opportunities. The Department is dedicated to student training and staff preceptorship therefore you will have the opportunity to develop your skills in these. From the day you arrive, we are committed to your continued success.

Some of your duties will include:

1. To work as an autonomous Dietitian providing assessment, management and education for patients requiring dietetic and nutrition intervention.

2. To work closely with the dietetic and multi-disciplinary team.

3. To assist and participate in training students and health care professionals on nutrition and dietetics.

4. To participate in audit and service improvement projects.



Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and well being of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.



We aim to make the most of our skills and experiences so we can become the best we can be. As one organisation we will recruit the finest and retain more specialist staff due to more employment opportunities across our Trust.



We are looking for an enthusiastic dietitian with HCPC registration who has good communication skills and can demonstrate our values of excellence, compassion, and respect.



You will be based at Basildon Hospital which entitles you to an additional 5% HCA fringe to your salary. Basildon Hospital is part of Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust and hosts several specialist clinical areas, including The Essex Cardiothoracic Centre, the Regional Vascular Unit as well as the region's Specialist Centre for Critical Care.



You will be pleasantly surprised by the area, and travel could not be easier with excellent road and rail links as well as being close to three international airports. The train journey from London takes just 35 minutes, with just a short walk to the hospital.
