Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time.

Barts Health supports the Pregnancy Loss Pledge and commits to supporting their staff through the distress of miscarriage.

We are dedicated to being an outstanding place to work and will work with you to get the best experience.

We are inclusive, so if you are interested in flexible working, please speak to the recruiting manager.

Job overview

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Band 6 Dietitian to join our well-established and highly respected renal dietetic team at Barts Health NHS Trust.

 You will join a dynamic and forward-thinking renal dietetic team comprising nine dietitians and one assistant dietetic practitioner. The team is actively involved in audit, research, and service development.

We are hopefully to secure more funding for this role in the future and would welcome applicants who have the flexibility to increase their hours in the future if this was the case
