Qualification in Nutrition and Dietetics with eligibility for professional accreditation
Practical experience delivering clinical dietetic services in a healthcare setting
Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with patients and colleagues
A proactive approach to learning, quality improvement, and teamwork
