These specialist oncology dietetic posts at Chesterfield Royal Hospital are new posts due to the Trust providing substantive funding following the previous full-time post funded for 2 years by Macmillan.
This is therefore an exciting opportunity for Dietitians who have significant NHS experience and experience working with individuals living with and beyond cancer, to develop the nutrition and dietetic cancer services. The Trust currently employs a part-time head and neck specialist Dietitian and the new post will utilise the previous scoping work to shape the services for the other types of cancer treated at Chesterfield Royal Hospital as well as providing highly specialised nutrition and dietetic services.
The post holders will work alongside our team of 25 staff consisting of Dietitians, a Nutrition Support Nurse, Dietitian Assistants, and Administrative staff.
Whilst all the team providing the nutrition and dietetic services across North Derbyshire are employed by and based at Chesterfield Royal Hospital, services are provided at locations based on individual needs across the community. The Trust is fully supportive of remote and home working where this is appropriate for the role.
Dietitians wishing to work part-time will be considered for these posts but please indicate on your application form the number of hours you would ideally like to work.
