Clinical Lead Dietitian - Diabetes | Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Diabetes Dietitian to join Sherwood Forest Hospitals on a fixed term basis to cover maternity leave.

This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care for adult patients living with diabetes. You will provide dietetic input in MDT pump clinics as well as dietetic-led clinics across both King's Mill Hospital and Newark hospital.

We are willing to consider someone currently working at a lower level who would be interested in the challenge, however you will need previous knowledge and experience of diabetes and the NHS. Knowledge of insulin pumps are essential.

To understand the role in more detail, please refer to the attached job description and person specification.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
