We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and motivated Dietitian to join our Dietetics Team at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability. Primarily based within our Brain Injury Service (neuro-rehabilitation), you will play a key role as a senior member of the interdisciplinary team, contributing to the delivery of high-quality, holistic, patient-centred care. The role will also involve providing support across our Ventilator and Continuing Care Services as required.
Nutrition is a key priority at RHN, with many of our patients experiencing dysphagia and complex nutritional needs. Approximately 70% of our patients receive nutrition via gastrostomy tubes, making enteral feeding an important part of the role.
