Band 5 Community Dietitian

Due to additional investment into the service we have a newly created band 5 post.

Our caseload includes support for patients with a variety of different clinical conditions for example cancer, dementia, respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal conditions and age related illness.

We work closely with our community colleagues across the MDT to provide high quality patient care.

Strong communication and time management skills are essential to allow you to independently manage a caseload, but we will support via clinical supervision, and their will be support from other dietitians and team leads.

Team working skills are also key and we take a whole team approach to supporting and growing the dietitians in the team

To carry a general clinical caseload involving assessments and treatment plans for patients in their own home, residential / nursing home or clinic setting.

To give clinical dietetic advise as appropriate to support service planning and delivery.

To be involved with dietetic student training and supporting the development of the next generation of the dietetic workforce.

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.
