Registered Dietitian

Job Description

DaVita is looking for a Registered Dietitian (RD) licensed in Ohio to help educate our patients and their families in our Dover Community Dialysis in Dover, OH.

Registered Dietitian license required, 1 year of clinic experience preferred

• Will also consider newly licensed dietitian with less than 1year experience. Role requires a licensed RD within DaVita to provide oversight support monthly.

• We are offering a $5,000 bonus available within the first 2 years of employment

Here is what we are looking for in a Registered Dietitian:

• Part Time Schedule - 24 hours per week (broken up over three days per week within M-F)

• The patient census at Dover is about 67 patients- 57 patients dialyze in center and 10 dialyze at home.  The  majority of patients (35)  dialyze on MWF- so a typical week would probably be 2 days a week on a Monday, Wed or Friday, and 1 day a week on a Tuesday or Thursday- but this can vary depending on needs of the clinic and the RD

• Bachelor's degree in Nutrition, Dietetics, or similar area required

• After hire and training, successful completion of the Competency Assessment for Renal Dietitians (CARD) with a score of at least 80% required

• Intermediate computer skills and proficiency with MS Word, Excel, and Outlook required as well as functional proficiency with DaVita specific applications within 60 days

• A typical day for a dietitian would involve reviewing monthly lab work with patients and educating them on dietary and medication changes to improve their outcomes.

• The dietitian also completes nutrition assessments for patients and may also attend patient rounds with their nephrologist.

• Core team meetings and home patient clinics are often on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Use your natural gift of education and persuasion to help patients understand that what they eat directly affects their lab levels. As a vital member of each patient's core care team, you will analyze lab-work results and educate patients-and their families-on what to eat accordingly. Your ability to influence and lead will be critical to helping them live better lives. If you love patient-centered health care with real relationships inside a company that encourages fun on and off the clock, then DaVita is the place for you.

• Dedication, above all, to caring for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure across the nation.

• Build meaningful and long-term relationships with patients and their families in an intimate outpatient setting.

• Be a part of a Team that appreciates, supports and relies on each other in a positive environment.

Comprehensive benefits:
