About the role

You will see your own caseload, mostly in clinic, with some home visits. We see a variety of clients for a range of health conditions and concerns, funded privately or through schemes such as Medicare, DVA, the NDIS and Support at Home.

Day to day, you will:

• keep timely clinical notes and write to GPs and other referrers
• build good relationships with local referrers

• Professional development: an annual PD budget and learning opportunities
• Mentoring: regular one-on-one mentoring, with extra support for new graduates
• Admin support: so you can focus on your clients
• Flexibility: flexible days, hours and working arrangements
• Room to grow: potential to increase your hours over time

About you

We care most about finding the right fit. You are warm, curious and practical, and you enjoy helping people make changes that last. Finding the right person for our team matters more to us than your level of experience. Mentoring support is part of the role, and we are happy to help you develop your professional skills.

You will need:

• A degree in Nutrition and Dietetics
• Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) status (or eligibility)
• Medicare Provider Number, or eligibility to apply for one
• Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
• Australian Driver’s Licence
• National Police Check and Working with Children Check
• Clear, friendly communication and good organisation

It would be great if you have:

• An interest in helping a small practice grow
