Permanent part-time Band 7 Renal Dietitian service lead (0.4WTE)
This is an exciting opportunity to support the leadership of an experienced renal dietetic team of approx. 8 WTE renal Dietitians and a renal dietetic assistant Practioner. In addition, you will be providing band 7 dietetic support within the department and have a leadership role within the wider dietetic team.
To be considered for this post it is essential that you have substantial band 6 renal dietetic experience, and expertise in renal specialist areas such as satellite dialysis unit cover, peritoneal disease, pre-dialysis and kidney transplantation will be considered very useful for this role.
The ability to work autonomously is essential for this role, but you will also be supported by a renal dietetic operation lead and renal service lead.
As part of your role, you will take a lead in the development of the renal dietetic service and will be supported closely with your band 7 colleagues. This will include areas such as audit, clinical guidelines, renal team meetings & business planning.
One of these working days should be a Monday, due to the lack of band 7 renal dietetic cover on this day, but there will be some flexibility with the additional day.

CLINICAL PRACTICE:

• Work as an autonomous practitioner working within the BDA code of professional conduct and the HCPC standards of conduct, performance and ethics and standards of proficiency (Dietitians)
• Plan and prioritise own workload and evaluate own practice
• Lead on coordinating management of patient caseload across the clinical team within specialist area and liaise with internal and external agencies as required (for operational and service lead posts)
• Complete any relevant Band 7 dietetic competencies
• Identify and understand risks and benefits of own practice (and support others within your team to do the same)
• Seek support from management colleagues and peers when necessary (aware of own scope of practice)
