Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Clinical Dietitian in Clinical Nutrition, traveling to support patient care across New York and beyond. This weeks-long assignment in Watertown offers you an opportunity to lead nutrition interventions, coordinate with interdisciplinary teams, and influence recovery trajectories in diverse hospital settings. You’ll perform thorough nutritional assessments, tailor medical nutrition therapy to a wide range of conditions, monitor outcomes, and educate patients and families on sustainable dietary strategies. With guaranteed hours and a competitive weekly pay range of $2,094 to $2,217 for 40 hours per week, this role is designed to reward expertise, resilience, and collaborative spirit. Begin on 12/08/2025 and bring your passion for evidence-based nutrition to patients who need it most. You’ll join a network of professionals dedicated to elevating clinical care through precise nutrition plans, dynamic problem-solving, and compassionate patient engagement, all while expanding your own clinical toolkit in a supportive, fast-paced environment.

Watertown presents a compelling base—a gateway to the North Country where community values meet natural beauty. Alongside the daily impact you’ll have at the bedside and in the nutrition service, you’ll discover a region that offers outdoor recreation, a thriving local culture, and access to waterways and mountains that invite respite after demanding shifts. In addition, the program offers placements across the United States, opening doors to a wider range of clinical settings, patient populations, and opportunities for professional growth. Whether you’re drawn to urban centers with specialty programs or quieter communities with strong interdisciplinary teams, you’ll experience the advantages of varied experiences that sharpen clinical judgment, adaptability, and leadership.

Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your growth and satisfaction. In this Clinical Dietitian capacity, you’ll conduct comprehensive nutrition assessments for medical inpatients and relevant outpatients, develop individualized care plans linked to diagnoses such as diabetes, renal disease, malnutrition, and critical illness, and implement evidence-based dietary strategies aligned with hospital policies and patient goals. You’ll monitor biochemical and anthropometric data, adjust nutrition prescriptions, collaborate with physicians, nurses, speech-language pathologists, and diet aides, and contribute to discharge planning and family education. You’ll have opportunities to present case reviews, participate in nutrition rounds, and mentor junior staff or students, refining your leadership and teaching skills. The role also emphasizes professional growth through exposure to diverse populations, complex cases, and opportunities to expand into sub-specialties within clinical nutrition. Benefits include a competitive sign-on bonus, housing assistance to secure convenient accommodations, and the possibility of extension beyond the initial assignment to continue building momentum in your career. You’ll receive robust support, including 24/7 travel assistance from a dedicated program team, onboarding resources, and access to our network’s ongoing professional development offerings. This comprehensive framework ensures you’re never navigating a shift alone, with real-time guidance and rapid escalation if needed.

Company values recognize that empowered staff propel excellent care. Our organization is committed to fostering a culture where clinical excellence blends with career advancement and a supportive, collaborative work environment. You’ll find mentorship opportunities, structured pathways for skill expansion, and recognition for your contributions to patient outcomes. The emphasis on teamwork, integrity, and a patient-first mindset reflects in daily practice, performance feedback, and opportunities to lead initiatives that improve nutrition care processes, documentation, and interdisciplinary communication. We believe in investing in you as a clinician, enabling you to broaden your scope, refine your clinical reasoning, and grow into roles with greater responsibility and influence.
