As a Dietitian Assistant, you’ll work under the supervision of qualified dietitians to support the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based nutrition care in the hospital.

For the successful applicant a typical day may involve, visiting patients on the ward to monitor their intake, check their weight or support their food preferences, communicate with nursing and food service staff to troubleshoot menu or nutrition-related concerns, supporting Dietitians by collecting data for assessments and reviews and participating in quality improvement and patient care projects.

We are looking for someone with a keen interest in health, food, and patient care, strong communication and organisation skills, reliability and initiative in a fast-paced environment.
