Your Workplace

The dietitian clinic in primary care consists of eleven dietitians and two administrative staff, along with our unit manager who is a dietitian by training.

Referrals primarily come from the county's health centers, and the dietitians are physically located at some of these to be close to patients and other staff. In addition to the unit's close internal collaboration, you will also have a natural place in the workgroup at Säffle health center, where you will have your physical workplace. There is a strong sense of community and a good collaborative climate at the health center.

In addition to working with the patient groups from the health centers, we have several exciting collaborations with other units within the region. Together with maternal care, all dietitians work with the LEVA method. Individual dietitians work on meal projects within forensic psychiatry and at our primary care departments (NÄVA) in Säffle and Kristinehamn. Having different branches based on our core mission is encouraged and creates opportunities for career development, enriches our workplace with new perspectives, and provides further variation in the work.

Through our development groups, which are divided by diagnosis and subject, you as an employee have a significant influence on how we will meet patients' needs in the future through accessibility and wise clinical choices. Our unit is characterized by engagement and active dialogue - you will always have close 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 and life with us.

Your Responsibilities

As a dietitian at the primary care dietitian clinic, you will work with individual nutritional treatment according to the Nutritional Care Process (NCP) with adults aged 18 and older. Common diagnoses we encounter include malnutrition, type 2 diabetes, IBS, and obesity. We also offer the LEVA method, a weight loss method for postpartum women. The treatment has a specific setup where physical visits are mixed with close digital contact in the Support and Treatment Platform.

You have the freedom to structure your workday in your own way and vary between physical visits, digital visits, and group visits. We prioritize the physical meeting with both patients and other colleagues, but there is an opportunity for 20% remote work.

Your Skills and Competencies

We are looking for a licensed dietitian with a strong commitment to helping people achieve a healthier life through nutritional treatment. You focus on science and evidence and have a positive view of opportunities for new collaborations and working methods. You see the whole picture, consider the larger perspective, and act in the best interest 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 skills to our development work. We see it as an advantage if you have a self-directed working style and are interested in having your own development area together with a colleague where you contribute to the group's continuing education. As a person, you are outgoing, self-sufficient, and confident in your professional role.

We look forward to your application and getting to know you!
