Job Description

Job Overview:
We are seeking a keen, skilled and compassionate licensed Registered Dietitian to join our multi-disciplinary Medical Weight and Wellness team (WMW Wellness). Our team includes administrative support, an educator who offers behavioural therapy classes (who is also a Registered Dietitian), pharmacists and physicians. As a dietitian, you will play a crucial role in supporting clients with evidence based lifestyle change. Experience is preferred, but we will consider a new graduate.

The goal of the program is to enhance quality of life for each individual working with the team. We support people in living the healthiest lifestyle they can enjoy and keep up forever. This looks different for everyone. We do not focus on the scale or specific weight targets. We acknowledge and embrace health at every body shape and size, and value positive body image and self compassion.

We do not promote a specific diet or exercise for everyone, but rather meet people where they are right now and work on sustainable, long-lasting changes. We follow the Obesity Canada guidelines, offering evidence-based treatment.

The bulk of the work is virtual, and with some on-site work (3 days per month at MSK Centre). The hours are flexible and expected to increase as our program continues to expand (if interested in more hours). There are virtual evening groups (5:30-7pm) that run once to twice per month or so, and we request availability for a few appointments later in the day (ie. last appointment 6:30pm). This ends up looking like one later shift per week. It is a salaried position, $60/ hour.
