Position Description
We are seeking a highly skilled Registered Dietitian who is passionate about helping patients make sustainable changes through personalized, evidence-based nutrition care.
This is a fully remote, 1099 contractor role. Providers manage their own schedules and caseloads, while we support with patient acquisition, billing, and administrative operations.
This role is a strong fit for dietitians who:
- Enjoy building ongoing relationships with patients
- Are comfortable working independently in a virtual setting
- Value flexibility in their schedule
What You'll Do
- Provide virtual, one-on-one nutrition counseling grounded in evidence-based care
- Conduct comprehensive nutrition assessments and develop personalized nutrition plans aligned with patient goals
- Support patients across common focus areas such as meal planning, navigating eating out and travel, lab interpretation, and supplementation guidance
- Guide patients through ongoing goal-setting using a structured framework designed to support sustainable behavior change
- Build strong, supportive relationships that encourage consistency and long-term engagement
- Maintain clear, timely documentation and follow-ups
- Manage your own schedule and availability
You’ll have the opportunity to build a growing caseload and support patients over time, with many providers developing a steady panel of ongoing patients.

- Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN), in good standing with the Commission on Dietetic Registration
- Experience in an outpatient or counseling setting
- Strong clinical foundation in medical nutrition therapy and evidence-based care
- Ability to translate nutrition guidance into realistic, sustainable behavior change for patients
- Empathetic, patient-centered approach that helps individuals feel heard, supported, and motivated
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently in a virtual setting
- Professional, collaborative, and growth-oriented mindset
Nice to have:
- Experience supporting patients longitudinally (ongoing care vs. one-time sessions)
- Experience with telehealth
- Interest in building a steady, long-term patient caseload
What We Offer
- A steady flow of patients aligned with your areas of expertise, supported by our marketing and referral efforts
- Competitive, session-based compensation
- Fully remote, flexible work—you set your schedule in a way that fits your lifestyle
- Support with scheduling, billing, and patient inquiries so you can focus on patient care
- Licensure fee reimbursement for select states to support expansion opportunities
