Dietitian

Why You'll Love Working at Family Nutrition Solutions

We're a growing, women-led functional nutrition practice in Wilmington, NC, serving the whole family: gut health, hormones, pediatrics, body image, GLP-1 use, and bariatric surgery. We're insurance-based, so patients can access the care they need.

Our patients come to us feeling dismissed and unheard. They stay because we give them clarity, empathy, and a plan they can actually follow. We take a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach with every patient, including those using GLP-1s or pre/post-bariatric surgery.

We're looking for an experienced dietitian who is energized by people, thrives in a collaborative environment, and genuinely loves helping patients feel confident about their health.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Impactful Work: Support patients through nutrition care that addresses root causes, not quick fixes, cookie-cutter protocols, or meal plans.
• Collaborative Environment: We problem-solve together and celebrate wins. You'll have a real voice here.
• A Clear Path to Earn More: Our performance-based salary tiers come with transparent raise criteria, so you always know what it takes to grow your pay.
• Career Growth: Paid continuing education in functional nutrition plus ongoing mentoring from our team.
• Flexibility & Balance: Semi-flexible hours and a hybrid schedule (2–3 days in our Wilmington office, the rest remote if desired).
• Room to Specialize: Develop expertise in gut health, hormone balance, autoimmune conditions, pediatrics, GLP-1 and bariatric nutrition, body image, and advanced lab interpretation. Each provider can "own" a specialty they love within the team.

Role Details

• Full time, W-2 employee
• Caseload of 24–30 visits per week
• 90-minute initial visits and 45–60-minute follow-ups

What You'll Do

• Build genuine relationships and trust with patients from the first visit using motivational interviewing and empathetic communication.
• Evaluate nutrition needs through diet, exercise, sleep, lifestyle, and functional lab assessments.
• Translate complex lab results into clear, plain-language explanations patients can act on.
• Set and prioritize realistic, stage-based goals so patients feel focused, not overwhelmed.
• Collaborate with our team to strengthen patient outcomes and care processes.
• Develop patient resources (handouts, recipes, educational content) that make recommendations easy to follow.
• Keep patient records current and complete in our EMR, including insurance documentation requirements.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Current RD or CNS with NC LDN/LN
• 2+ years of outpatient nutrition counseling, including work with complex or multi-factorial health concerns
• Comfort with EMR systems and digital patient resources

Strongly preferred:

• Experience with one or more of: pediatrics, GLP-1 or bariatric surgery, body image or disordered eating
• Experience with insurance-based practice

You'll Thrive Here If You're:

• People-oriented: You're energized by connecting with patients.
• A natural collaborator: You contribute ideas, welcome feedback, and make the team around you better.
• A clear communicator: You explain complex information in a way patients actually understand.
• Organized and reliable: You follow through on documentation, care plans, and patient communication.
• Analytically curious: You love digging into labs and lifestyle data to find the why behind a patient's struggles.

Pay & Benefits

• Full time, W2 employee with 8 paid holidays plus PTO (6 days per year)
