Job Description

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.

• Monitor client health trends, including weight and nutritional status, implementing timely interventions.
• Ensure food safety, sanitation, and regulatory compliance across all nutrition services.
