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.

  • 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.
