Overview
Providing our patients with excellent nutritional care improves their recovery from illness and can reduce length of hospital stay. Our ward based Nutrition Assistants coordinate and monitor the nutritional care of our patients and are a crucial part of our ward teams.
Position Details
An opportunity has arisen to work as a Nutrition Assistant on Wensleydale ward at Harrogate District Hospital.
This post is for 15 hours per week.
Responsibilities
You will be ward based but work closely with the Nutrition & Dietetic, Speech & Language Therapy and catering teams.
