As part of our multidisciplinary home therapies team, you will provide comprehensive training, support, ongoing assessment, and monitoring for patients transitioning to self-managed haemodialysis at home. We collaborate closely with nephrologists, dialysis technicians, private units, dietetics and the broader multidisciplinary team.Your ability to teach, encourage, problem solve, and adapt to individual learning needs will be key to success in this rewarding role.
Benefits are:
- Work in a large and supportive renal service with a strong focus on innovation in home therapies.
- Make a meaningful impact by helping patients take charge of their treatment and quality of life.
- Opportunities for ongoing professional development in dialysis and patient education.

They will demonstrate:
- Advanced haemodialysis competency, including experience with the Fresenius 4008 system, conducting patient assessments, delivering structured training, and providing ongoing supervision, troubleshooting, and clinical reviews.
- Exceptional communication, teaching, and organisational skills, with the ability to work autonomously and collaboratively within a renal team while maintaining accurate documentation and supporting continuous improvement of training pathways.
