• Support patients across all cancer diagnoses while maintaining a focus on head and neck cancers.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver patient-centered nutrition care.
• Document assessments, plans, and follow-ups in electronic medical records.
• Assist with patient education materials, presentations, and precepting dietetic interns.
• Maintain professional development through continuing education relevant to oncology nutrition.

Qualifications:

• Registered Dietitian (RD) with a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, Food Science, or Dietetics.
• 1–2 years of experience, preferably in oncology nutrition. Acute care experience and enteral nutrition expertise required.
• Familiarity with clinical nutrition needs of cancer patients and evidence-based interventions.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to travel between clinics and lift up to 20 pounds occasionally.

Preferred:

• Experience working with diverse patient populations.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Salary: $65,000–$70,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
• Mileage reimbursed for travel outside of home clinic.
• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, retirement match, paid vacation, sick time, and 2 personal days.
• Office closed during the week of Christmas.
• Collaborative, supportive team environment where your expertise is valued.
