This is an exciting opportunity for a recently qualified, innovative and motivated Dietitian to develop and deliver a comprehensive Nutrition and Dietetic service across Lochaber, Wester Ross and the surrounding area.

You will provide care to inpatients, outpatients and day patients across a range of settings such as a rural general hospital, outpatient clinics, care homes and domiciliary visits.

As a Community Dietitian, you’ll be a key member of integrated community team ensuring patients receive the right care in the right place at right time.
