Job Description

Clinical Dietitian – Fueling Health, One Patient at a Time

About the Role:
As a Clinical Dietitian, you’re more than just a nutrition expert — you’re a vital part of the care team, helping patients live healthier, more vibrant lives through personalized Medical Nutrition Therapy. Whether you’re working with acute care patients, guiding families in long-term care, or participating in community outreach, your work has a lasting impact on individuals and public health.

You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals while also helping to shape the next generation of medical professionals through education and mentorship. From bedside consults to public presentations, this role blends science, service, and people-centered care.

What You’ll Do:

  • Provide comprehensive nutrition assessments and develop personalized care plans for patients in Acute, Ambulatory, and Long-Term Care settings.

  • Educate patients and families about medical nutrition therapy, diet modifications, and long-term healthy eating habits.

  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary care teams to support overall patient care goals.

  • Contribute to the education of medical students, residents, and allied health professionals through hands-on teaching and consultation.

  • Participate in community outreach programs — sharing your expertise to promote better health beyond the hospital walls.

  • Document care plans and progress notes in electronic health records.

  • Use your knowledge to create patient education materials and support group teaching sessions when needed.

What You Bring:

  • Bachelor of Science in Dietetics or a related field from an Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics-approved institution.

  • Registered as a Clinical Dietitian in the state of Missouri — must maintain active registry to remain employed.

  • Excellent verbal communication skills for patient interviews, counseling, and team collaboration.

  • Solid written communication skills for documentation, reports, and educational content.

  • Comfort using computers for data entry, charting, and teaching materials.

  • Ability to speak confidently to both small and large groups.

  • Strong interpersonal skills to connect with patients, families, and healthcare colleagues.

  • Access to reliable transportation to visit corporate and community locations.

Preferred (But Not Required):

  • 2+ years of experience in clinical or community dietetics.

  • Experience with group teaching across different age and learning levels.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

  • You'll play a critical role in patient recovery and wellness journeys.

  • You’ll get to combine clinical care, education, and community outreach in one impactful role.

  • You'll be part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary team that values your expertise.

  • You’ll help shape a healthier community — one person, one plate, one presentation at a time.

Passionate about nutrition, science, and people? Let’s turn that passion into purpose.
Apply today and bring your skills to a team that’s redefining what care looks like — inside and outside the hospital.
