Watertown, NY
Contracted
Samaritan Medical Center
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic journey as a Clinical Dietitian within Clinical Nutrition, where your expert nutrition care will transform patient outcomes and elevate the standard of care across diverse settings. This is your invitation to practice with purpose in Watertown, New York, while also enjoying the breadth of opportunities that come with traveling to locations across the United States. Beginning December 15, 2025, you will step into a role offering 40 guaranteed hours per week, a competitive weekly pay range of $2,125 to $2,215, and a pathway to professional growth that aligns with your dedication to evidence-based practice. You’ll serve in inpatient, outpatient, and integrated care environments, collaborating with physicians, nurses, therapists, and nutrition support teams to tailor medical nutrition therapy that meets each patient’s needs. This position emphasizes not only clinical excellence but also ongoing learning, innovation, and the everyday impact of nutrition on recovery, quality of life, and long-term health.

Location Benefits: Watertown is nestled in upstate New York’s scenic landscape, where the St. Lawrence River, nearby Thousand Islands, and the rolling hills of the Tug Hill region invite exploration and renewal. The area offers a welcoming community, a rich array of outdoor adventures across all seasons, and a cultural scene that balances small-town charm with accessible amenities. From seasonal festivals to farmers’ markets and delightful local eateries, Watertown provides a high quality of life with a manageable cost of living. For professionals who crave variety, this role opens doors to working in multiple locations throughout the U.S., delivering new clinical experiences, innovative programs, and the chance to build a national network of colleagues while staying connected to a strong local community.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Clinical Dietitian, you’ll perform comprehensive nutrition assessments, develop evidence-based care plans, and monitor outcomes for patients facing a wide range of conditions—from diabetes and cardiovascular disease to renal disease, oncology, gastrointestinal disorders, and critical illness. You’ll translate lab data, anthropometrics, and diet histories into practical, culturally sensitive guidance, crafting personalized menus and education plans that empower patients and families. You’ll champion the Nutrition Care Process, document care in electronic health records, and participate in interdisciplinary rounds to ensure seamless, patient-centered care. The role offers clear opportunities for professional growth, including exposure to complex cases, mentorship from seasoned leaders, and access to continuing education and certification support.

This position is accompanied by compelling benefits: a sign-on bonus to recognize your expertise and commitment, housing assistance to ease the transition to a new city or travel assignments, and flexible extension opportunities that let you continue to expand your clinical horizons. You’ll work with a dedicated travel support team that provides 24/7 assistance, ensuring you’re never alone on the road and that any scheduling or logistics needs are promptly addressed. Whether you’re refining enteral and parenteral nutrition plans, coordinating with kitchen services on therapeutic meal plans, or delivering engaging nutrition education to patients and families, you’ll have robust resources and a collaborative team at your side. The assignment structure is designed with your stability in mind: steady weekly hours, predictable pay, and the option to extend beyond the initial period, allowing you to deepen your expertise across settings and patient populations.

Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering its staff to grow, innovate, and lead with compassion. We prioritize a supportive, inclusive culture where your voice matters, your professional goals are respected, and your career can advance through structured development, mentorship, and opportunities to broaden your scope within clinical nutrition. We believe in balancing excellence with well-being, recognizing that a thriving team delivers the best patient outcomes. You’ll be part of a network that encourages curiosity, values collaboration, and commits to helping you reach your next career milestone.

Call to Action: If you’re a dedicated Clinical Dietitian who is passionate about applying science to meaningful patient care and who welcomes the adventure of travel and new clinical environments, we want to hear from you. This is your chance to join a company that values your expertise, supports your professional development, and helps you make a lasting impact on patients’ lives. Begin your journey on December 15, 2025, with a role designed for growth, exploration, and meaningful care — in Watertown and beyond.
