Seeking Oregon-based dietitians with eating disorder experience
New Leaf Nutrition Counseling is a group practice of dietitians practicing with a Health At Every Size approach, with a specialization in eating disorder recovery. We are based in Portland, OR and serve clients primarily in Oregon and Washington. We see clients in-person and virtually.
At New Leaf, we value providing inclusive, person-centered care by recognizing that every client has unique lived experience and that each person is starting from a different place when seeking support. We are looking to hire someone who is aligned with these values.
We recognize that the dietetics profession lacks representation of diversity and encourage folks of all identities to apply.
About the position
This is a hybrid position that allows the clinician to work from home and work in-person. Dietitians at New Leaf work in-person at least one day a week. This position starts part-time with the purpose to work up to a full-time caseload, provided appointments are available for a full-time caseload. A successful candidate for this position is someone who is ambitious, proactive, reliable, and has the ability to work independently. This position is great for a dietitian who is excited to work in private practice without having to deal with tedious business tasks.
