Job Summary
Are you an experienced Dietitian with a genuine interest in Diabetes?
An exciting opportunity has arisen within Nutrition and Dietetic Services at Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust for a motivated individual to join our established team of Primary and Secondary Care Diabetes Dietitians as a Band 6 Community Diabetes Dietitian.
This is a great opportunity to expand your community experience or consolidate your existing experience and skills working with adults with Diabetes.
Main duties of the job
The post is part time (30 hours per week), and the main remit of the post is to provide face-to-face or virtual outpatient clinics within the Wakefield and North Kirklees localities.
The clinical duties of the post includes (but not limited to) cover for diabetes outpatient clinics, home visits and care home provision.
There would also be the opportunity to provide talks and education to health professionals, patients and other service users, as well as facilitating structured education. You will need to demonstrate your ability to work independently, and as part of a team.
The dietetic department is fully committed to CPD and clinical supervision. As we take A, B and C students from Leeds Beckett University, the post holder will also be expected to take an active role in supporting our student training programme.
About Us
We are an acute trust caring for over one million people in Wakefield and Kirklees. Our 10,000 staff members work in patients homes, the community, and our three hospitals in Pontefract, Dewsbury, and Pinderfields (Wakefield).
Committed to continuous improvement, we prioritise our people and values so we can deliver excellent patient experience. Our team is friendly, passionate and always seeking better ways to work through research and innovation. We support work-life balance and foster a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone belongs. Our staff networks offer safe spaces for honest conversations and to share ideas, thoughts and concerns so we can increase awareness and appreciation of equality, diversity, and inclusion.
As a member of the team, you will have access to the NHS pension plan, a generous holiday allowance, employee health and wellbeing services and extensive benefits and support. These include onsite nurseries, childcare vouchers, car lease and home electronics schemes, working carers support, carer-friendly policies, and more. If you value caring, high standards, improvement, and respect, join the MY team to make a difference every day.
