Registered Dietitian

Registered Dietitian

LIFE Pittsburgh is a growing nonprofit organization with nearly 400 dedicated team members who believe that aging should never mean giving up independence, dignity, or connection. We are a community-based alternative to nursing home care, supporting frail older adults so they can remain safely in their homes and lead meaningful lives in the communities they love.

Each day, our care teams—comprised of physicians, nurses, social workers, rehabilitation specialists, and more—come together with one shared purpose: to wrap our Participants in a circle of care that sees them, hears them, and honors the lives they've lived. Whether through our Day Health Centers or in-home programs, we tailor our services around each Participant's goals, not just their medical needs.

At LIFE Pittsburgh, food is more than fuel—it's nourishment for body, spirit, and community.

We are seeking a Registered Dietitian who understands that a meal can be medicine, that dignity is preserved when someone feels seen in their dietary needs, and that good nutrition is a cornerstone of great care. In this role, you'll do more than manage meal plans—you'll contribute to lives filled with purpose, connection, and wellness.

This role offers the opportunity to pair clinical expertise with compassionate service, leading the planning and oversight of nutritional care while managing safe, person-centered dietary operations in collaboration with our Interdisciplinary Team.

What You'll Do

• Provide thoughtful, individualized medical nutrition therapy for Participants based on their diagnoses, preferences, and goals
• Conduct and update nutritional assessments to support high-quality, proactive care
• Partner with the Interdisciplinary Team to ensure every care plan includes meaningful, appropriate nutrition guidance
• Leader in Food Safety, ensuring full compliance with food safety standards and fostering a warm, respectful environment
• Order nutritional supplements focusing on budgeting with an eye for both cost-effectiveness and Participant needs
• Support and train staff to serve meals that are not just nourishing, but also deeply respectful of each Participant's dignity and autonomy
• Document care thoughtfully and accurately to ensure compliance and continuity
• Assist with foodservice operations only as needed, based on staffing requirements or specific operation demands

What You'll Bring

Required Certification & License

• Registered Dietitian (RD) credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR)
• LDN Licensure required for state of Pennsylvania
• Willingness to obtain and maintain Food Service (Serve-Safe) Certification

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Dietetics or related healthcare field
• Minimum of one (1) year experience in providing care for the frail and/or elderly.

If you believe that food can be a form of care, and that every older adult deserves to feel heard, respected, and nourished, this is your calling.

Come join a team where your voice matters, your compassion shines, and your work changes lives.
