Vacant job

We are now looking for an engaged dietitian for the Primary Care Dietitian Clinic in Karlstad.

Your workplace

The Primary Care Dietitian Clinic consists of eleven dietitians, two healthcare administrators, and our unit manager, who is a dietitian by background. Referrals come primarily from the county's health centers, and the dietitians are physically located at some of these centers to be close to patients and other staff. In addition to working with the patient groups at the health centers, we have several exciting collaborations with other units within the region.

Together with the maternity clinic, all dietitians work with the LEVA method. Individual dietitians work on meal projects within forensic psychiatry and at our primary care wards (NÄVA) in Säffle and Kristinehamn. Having different branches based on our core mission is encouraged, creating opportunities for career development, enriching our workplace with new perspectives, and providing further variety in the work.

Through our development groups, which are divided by diagnosis and subject, you as an employee have 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 – with us, you always have a colleague nearby!

As an employer, we want to give you the opportunity to develop and thrive with us. Therefore, 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 work with individual nutritional treatment according to the Nutritional Care Process (NCP) for adults aged 18 and over. Common diagnoses we encounter are 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 structure where physical visits are mixed with frequent digital contact in the Support and Treatment Platform.

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

The position is a temporary contract until June 2027, with the possibility of extension.

Your skills and competencies

We are looking for you who are a licensed dietitian with a great commitment to helping people live healthier lives through nutritional treatment. You focus on science and evidence and view opportunities for new collaborations and working methods positively. You see the big picture, consider the broader perspective, and ensure the best interests of the entire operation in your actions and decisions.

To thrive with us, you are a team player who wants to join our network and contribute your unique experience and competence to our development work. We see an advantage in you having an independent working style and being interested in having your own area of development together with a colleague, where you contribute to the group's further training.

As a person, you are outgoing, confident in your professional role, and adapt to the situation. You work towards set goals and build trusting relationships in your daily work.

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