About Us

We are one of the largest dietitian units in the Västra Götaland region.

We are a team that enjoys working together and are constantly striving to develop as a service and as employees.

The dietitian unit operates throughout Västra Götaland and provides access to dietitians for all healthcare centers. We have offices in four locations: Borås, Gothenburg, Skara, and Uddevalla, with a team consisting of a total of 44 dietitians and two administrators.

Patients of all ages come to the dietitian unit via referrals from doctors or nurses at the healthcare center who have treatment responsibility for underlying illnesses. We also provide services to pregnant women referred by midwives. Our highest priority is severely ill elderly individuals with malnutrition. We collaborate extensively with municipal care and support. Other patient groups primarily include individuals with diabetes, overweight and obesity, and gastrointestinal diseases. We also conduct qualified advisory conversations about dietary habits for at-risk groups.

About the Job

As a dietitian in the primary care dietitian unit, you will work according to the nutrition treatment process, which includes investigation, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of nutrition-related problems and documentation according to NCP. The work involves both individual care contacts and group treatment/patient education. The job also includes prescribing nutritional products, and the target group for this position is adults with nutrition-related problems related to illness.

You will work with the overall care of the patient alongside other professional categories, primarily doctors, nurses, and midwives, where you provide nutritional expertise. The role also includes consultation on nutritional issues for healthcare staff via phone and email.

The position is located in Skara, where you will have primary responsibility for four to six healthcare centers in Skaraborg. The main work is conducted through digital healthcare contacts (phone and video). Physical visits are conducted as needed at the healthcare center where the patient is registered. Home visits may also occur. You need to be physically present at the office in Skara at least one day a week and at healthcare centers in Skaraborg one to two days per week. However, there is the possibility of working from home one to two days a week. The dietitian unit is constantly evolving, and improvement work is continuously carried out in collaboration within the group and with other partners.

About You

We are looking for a licensed dietitian with clinical experience in primary care. Good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form is a requirement. Since travel is involved in the position, a B driver's license is also required. As digital technology is frequently used for communication during video visits, we expect you to have good computer skills.

As a person, we are looking for someone who is structured, independent, and flexible, and has the ability to work in a team. The job involves personal responsibility for planning and structuring the workday. Furthermore, you have a consultative and unpretentious working style and are service-oriented in contacts with patients and colleagues. You also participate in development work together with colleagues within the unit. It is important that you can work independently with nutritional assessments, dietary treatment, prescribing nutritional products, and advising patients and those around them.

Warm welcome to submit your application!
