Your passion, warmth, and drive to make a difference are valued.

As an Oncology Dietitian, your responsibilities will include:

• Selecting appropriate assessment approaches, methods, techniques, and equipment, aligned with individual needs, evidence of effectiveness, and available resources.
• Explaining clearly to patients their roles, responsibilities, and the information needed from assessments, respecting dignity, wishes, and beliefs; involving shared decision-making; and obtaining consent.
• Preparing, conducting, and monitoring assessments in line with evidence-based practice, legislation, policies, procedures, and established protocols or models.
• Monitoring individuals during assessments and taking appropriate actions regarding significant changes or risks.
• Maintaining accurate clinical records.
