Complex Care at Home is an innovative service working to promote patient centred, preventative and proactive support for adults living with long term conditions, living in their own homes.  We have a rare vacancy for a Dietitian to join our friendly, forward thinking team.  You will join a multi-disciplinary team including nurses, therapists, health and well being coordinators, geriatricians, adult social care and housing colleagues, who are working to provide first class care to keep patients well at home. You will be visiting people in their own homes and community venues in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Forest of Dean. 

You will have a passion for nutrition in adults with long terms conditions who may be frail and/or have dementia or other cognitive impairment. With a willingness to work autonomously in a changing environment, you will be encouraged to develop your dietetic knowledge and bring new understanding and skills back to the wider team. 

Professional support will be provided by the therapy lead in the team and by the network of dietitians within the trust. Regular dietetic supervision, nutritional updates and sharing of local and national policy will be available.  You will also be providing placement experience for dietetic students and you will be part of their ongoing training.

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust. 

The annual NHS Staff Survey  gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust.  For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%).   It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:

• 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users; 
• 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work; 
• 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
• 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative     

Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
