Are you a dietitian looking for a new challenge who is interested in Home enteral feeding? You may be a band 6 Dietitian looking to develop or broaden your skills or a band 5 Dietitian looking for a chance to gain some specialist experience? If so this is the post for you. Experience in enteral feeding is essential but training in home enteral tube feeding and MND can be given.
The post holder would join our team of home enteral feeding specialist Dietitians to support our adult home enteral tube feed patients and MND patients. We currently have over 200+ adult patients tube feeding at home. The home enteral feeding service is well supported by the Trust’s nutrition nurses and the contract nursing service.
The enteral feed contract for East Lancashire is a direct order tube feed contract managed by the Dietitians rather than through the prescription service. The post holder would be part of the Dietetic Community Nutritional Support team with their main base in Pendle and cover all the communities of East Lancashire.
The team is supported clinically with band 7 Dietitians, band 6 Dietitian specialists as well as rotational band 5 Dietitians, Dietetic Assistant Practitioners and Dietetic Assistants. Clinical supervision will be provided and peer support is available.
The post holder would also be expected to help manage, support and clinically supervise Band 5 rotational staff, support staff, and Dietetic students. The department offers the full student training programme and the post holder would be expected to be involved in clinically assessing and
teaching of students therefore experience in this area is desirable.
Established in 2003 East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (ELHT) is a large integrated health care organisation providing high quality acute secondary healthcare for the people of East Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen.
Our vision is to be widely recognised for providing safe, personal and effective care. We currently provide high quality services and treat over 700,000 patients a year from the most serious of emergencies to planned operations and procedures. We employ over 8,000 staff, many of whom are internationally renowned and have won awards for their work and achievements.
The Community Nutritional Support team is part of the wider Dietetic Department covering the hospitals and communities of East Lancashire. The department has nearly 90 staff, 45 of whom are Dietitians. The department covers many specialities and is known for its innovation and development.
The post holder would have a delegated caseload of home enteral feeding patients including Motor Neurone Disease patients. The post holder would also be expected to support a Dietetic Assistant practitioner at a small community hospital once a week as well as covered a specialist nutritional support clinic.
