Job description

We are seeking a permanent Clinical Specialist Renal Dietitian to work in our multi-disciplinary therapy team. Lead by a Clinical Lead Renal Occupational Therapist and Clinical Lead Renal Dietitian, the team is made of dietitians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and therapy assistants - across inpatient and outpatient settings.

Our team supports people living with kidney disease and urological conditions across three wards based at The Royal Free Hospital site, and 5 outpatient centres for low clearance, dialysis and transplantation. The Royal Free is the provider for NCL for urological care (medical and surgical) as well as being the NCL tertiary centre for chronic kidney disease management including renal transplantation. This role is based predominantly in renal outpatients.

We are looking for someone who demonstrates exceptional understanding of the complexity of a person living with CKD. Outcomes for people living with CKD are poorer than for some cancers, and malnutrition, and physical and cognitive frailty is highly prevalent. Proven experience in autonomous management of people with complex nutritional diagnoses is essential. Experience supporting the development of junior staff will be highly regarded, as will skills in quality improvement, service evaluation or audit.

We also consider this role to be critical to our team leadership structure and we are interested in someone who demonstrates a warm and empathetic leadership style. Working with the wider MDT is critical to the success of our therapy service, and we are embedded well in the Nephrology, Urology, and Renal Transplant Division’s activities and priorities.

The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s biggest and most innovative trusts. Across three main hospitals, our dedicated army of staff care for over 1.6million patients, treat more than 200,000 in A&E, deliver over 8,000 babies and carry out more than 17million tests.

Our size, scale and influence offer you unrivalled career opportunities and a forward-thinking approach to working that works around your lifestyle. From flexible hours and generous benefits, to next level training, we make it easier to take your career to the top
