Join our dynamic team dedicated to transforming lives through compassionate care and innovative approaches to health. We are a leading specialist surgical practice in Kogarah, accredited as a Centre of Excellence for Metabolic and Bariatric surgery. We are seeking a passionate and experienced Bariatric Dietitian to join our multidisciplinary team in a part-time contractor role, working 1-2 days per week.

Our Bariatric Dietitian forms a critical part of our clinical team and you will play a crucial role in supporting our patients before and after bariatric surgery, guiding them on their journey to sustainable weight loss and improved health. You will collaborate closely with our surgeon, bariatric physician, psychologist, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient's needs.

You will be required to perform pre-surgical nutritional consultations to provide patients with information and education as they begin their weight loss journey and perform regular consultations to provide guidance, support and identify areas for improvement during the post-operative phase. Consultations will be a mix of face-to-face and telehealth.

You will also be involved in the development and maintenance of dietetic resources. Experience in social media marketing would be very welcome, but not essential.

Our state-of-the-art consulting rooms are located in the St George Private Specialist Consulting Suites, a five-minute walk from Kogarah train station. Car parking can be also provided.
