Are you a Registered Dietitian passionate about helping children and families achieve a healthy relationship with food? We are seeking dedicated Registered Dietitians to provide essential nutrition care and support to families.

In this vital role, you will be responsible for all nutrition-related aspects of care, working closely with the patient and their family members to empower them with the skills needed.

Responsibilities:

• Assist patients and families in transforming maladaptive eating patterns into a healthy relationship with food through provision of ongoing support.
• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans to facilitate patients' progress based upon their unique needs, including initial nutrition assessments, meal plan prescriptions, and assessment of target weight ranges through regular telehealth meetings.
• Guide the process of exposure to fear/challenge foods.
• Clearly communicate the patient's meal plan and any special nutrition-related concerns to all team members, providing education on how to alleviate or resolve these concerns.
• Echo treatment team's directives in interactions with families, presenting a united front.
• Assist with discharge planning.
• Update treatment plans weekly with patient's progress, treatment goals, nutrition-related assignments or directives, and nutrition-related concerns.
• Reassess nutritional needs on an ongoing basis and communicate recommendations to the treatment team and families.
• Deliver evidence-based nutrition education geared toward challenging irrational thoughts and beliefs around food/nutrition, weight, and shape that fuel eating disorder behaviors.
• Establish a therapeutic relationship with families, including rapport building, appropriate boundary setting, and a working alliance with the team and family toward treatment goals.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements:

• Minimum of a bachelor's degree or college and coursework accredited or approved by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).
• Licensed RDN required. Eating disorder experience preferred, and some exposure/experience to family-based eating disorder treatment approaches is a plus (but not required).
• Strong skills in communication and collaboration with diverse teams.
• Experience working on interdisciplinary teams.
• Organized and results-driven.
