Clinical Dietitian

Transform Lives Through the Power of Nutrition


At QLI, we believe food is more than nourishment-it is healing, strength, and connection. Every day, individuals recovering from life-changing brain and spinal cord injuries work to rebuild their independence and quality of life. Nutrition plays a vital role in that journey.


We are seeking a Clinical Dietitian who is inspired to make a meaningful impact. This key member of the recovery team will elevate the role of nutrition within a highly collaborative rehabilitation environment, ensuring every client receives personalized, therapeutic care that supports their recovery, restores their dignity, and enhances quality of their life.

This is more than a clinical leadership position-it is an opportunity to profoundly influence recovery outcomes. You will shape nutrition strategies that:

• Promote healing and strength
• Support individualized care goals
• Create meaningful dining experiences

Your leadership will ensure that meals are not just part of a care plan, but a daily highlight that reflects compassion, culture, and dignity.

As the Clinical Nutritionist, you will:

• Lead comprehensive nutrition assessments and develop individualized care plans aligned with clinical diagnoses and recovery goals.
• Oversee therapeutic diets and cycle menus that meet regulatory standards while honoring client preferences and cultural diversity.
• Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams-including nursing, therapy, and compliance-to enhance outcomes and ensure continuity of care.
• Monitor client health trends, including weight and nutritional status, implementing timely interventions.
• Ensure food safety, sanitation, and regulatory compliance across all nutrition services.
• Provide education and coaching to clients and families, empowering long-term wellness and independence.
• Serve as a trusted clinical resource and collaborative partner within QLI's interdisciplinary rehabilitation team.
