We are now seeking a dedicated dietitian for the Dietitian Clinic in Primary Care, Karlstad.
Your Workplace
The Dietitian Clinic in Primary Care consists of eleven dietitians and two healthcare administrators, along with our unit manager who has a background as a dietitian. Referrals come primarily from healthcare centers throughout the region, and dietitians are physically located at several of these centers to be close to patients and other staff. In addition to working with patient groups at the healthcare centers, we have several exciting collaborations with other units within the region.
Together with midwifery services, all dietitians work with the LEVA method. Individual dietitians work on meal projects within forensic psychiatry and at our nearby care units (NÄVA) in Säffle and Kristinehamn. Having various specializations based on our core mission is encouraged and creates opportunities for career development, enriches our workplace with new perspectives, and provides additional variety in the work.
Through our development groups, which are organized by diagnosis and subject area, you as an employee have significant influence over how we will meet patients' needs going forward through accessibility and sound clinical choices. Our unit is characterized by commitment and active dialogue - with us, you always have easy access to a professional colleague!
As an employer, we want to give you the opportunity to develop and thrive with us, which is why we invest in your work environment and your opportunities to create an exciting career with us.
Your Responsibilities
As a dietitian at the primary care clinic, you will work with individual nutritional treatment according to the Nutritional Care Process (NCP) with adults 18 years and older. Common diagnoses we encounter are malnutrition, type 2 diabetes, IBS, and obesity. We also offer the LEVA method, a weight loss program for postpartum women. The treatment has a specific structure where physical visits are combined with frequent digital contact through the Support and Treatment Platform.
You have the freedom to structure your own schedule for your workday and vary between physical visits, digital visits, and group visits. We prioritize in-person meetings with both patients and colleagues, but the opportunity exists for up to 20% remote work.
This position is a temporary contract until June 2027, with the possibility of extension.
Your Knowledge and Competencies
We are looking for you as a licensed dietitian with strong commitment to helping people achieve healthier lives through nutritional treatment. You focus on science and evidence and view new collaborations and working methods positively. You see the bigger picture, consider the broader perspective, and prioritize the best interests of the entire operation in your actions and decisions.
To thrive with us, you are a team player who wants to be part of our network and contribute your unique experiences and expertise to our development work. We see it as an advantage if you have an independent work style and are interested in having your own development area together with a colleague, where you both contribute to the group's continuing education.
As a person, you are outgoing, confident in your professional role, and adapt to the situation at hand. You work toward established goals and build trusting relationships in your daily work.
We warmly welcome your application!
We are currently in the vacation period, which means processing times may be somewhat longer than usual. Recruitment work will resume after the holidays, and we will follow up as soon as we have the opportunity. Thank you for your patience!
