AddressSouth West Hospital and Health Service has an exciting opportunity for a Dietetics First Nations Graduate Pathway.
Join us in building better health in the bush!
Your opportunity
This position will work in the Healthy Communities Team which aims to support consumers to better manage their nutrition while implementing positive healthy lifestyle behaviour change strategies for continued self-management. You will be required to provide generalist nutrition and dietetic clinical services to a broad range of clients across the age continuum (which include screening, assessment, intervention and evaluation) in accordance with prescribed professional and ethical standards, with a high degree of independence and infrequent need for clinical practice supervision. To do so you will work within the multidisciplinary team to manage, coordinate and provide optimal, responsive and flexible nutrition and dietetic clinical services in acute, aged care, community and outreach facility settings.
The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.
