[Hiring] Registered Dietitian @Blueberry Pediatrics

Role Description

The Registered Dietitian is central to how Balance delivers care. Nutrition is not an add-on to this program — it is half of the treatment. You will:

• Review each family's clinical picture.
• Build a nutrition and care plan that fits their life.
• Stay coordinated with the care team for a coherent plan.

This role is for a dietitian who wants to work at the front edge of adolescent metabolic care and sees nutrition counseling as a relationship with a family, not a handout. You will also help shape how this care is delivered as the program grows.

What You’ll Own

• Intake and clinical review:
  • Review intake materials for each new patient, including medical history, labs, and baseline health evaluation.
  • Identify nutrition-relevant risks, comorbidities, and considerations.
  • Flag anything that needs physician attention.
• Patient and family care:
  • Meet with patients and families via telehealth to assess needs, goals, and eating patterns.
  • Design an individualized nutrition and care plan for each teen.
  • Provide ongoing counseling, monitoring, and plan adjustment.
• Care team coordination:
  • Coordinate with physicians, nurse practitioners, and health coaches for cohesive care.
  • Contribute the nutrition perspective to case reviews and care-team communication.

Qualifications

• Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) credential with appropriate education and current licensure.
• Experience with, and genuine interest in, working with adolescents with obesity or elevated BMI.
• Experience with, or clear interest in, supporting teens on GLP-1 therapy.
• Licensed to practice in the Balance states or willing to obtain the appropriate licensing and credentialing.
• Availability of 30–50+ hours per month, scaling as the program grows.
• Employment classification 1099.

Bonus if you have:

• Experience delivering care on a telemedicine platform.
• Interest in improving care pathways and technology systems.
• Pediatric or adolescent nutrition experience specifically.
• Background in behavioral or family-centered counseling approaches.

Time Commitment and Growth Trajectory

This role starts at 30–50+ hours per month, with expected growth as the Balance patient panel grows. Dietitians who want their engagement to expand alongside the program are a stronger fit than those looking for a fixed, unchanging scope. The hourly rate for this contract position is $65/hr.
