Location: Lee Health

Department: LCH - Pediatric Endocrinology

Work Type: Full Time

Shift: Shift 1/8:00:00 AM to 4:30:00 PM

Minimum to Midpoint Pay Rate: $35.84 / hour

Position Overview

Lee Physician Group is in search of a qualified Pediatric Clinical Nutrition Specialist to enhance our Pediatric Endocrinology team. The ideal candidate will possess a Bachelor's degree in Dietetics or Human Nutrition and hold the credentials of a Registered Dietitian. This role necessitates collaboration with our Certified Diabetes Educators, Registered Nurses, and healthcare providers.


The position entails providing nutritional counseling to a varied demographic of families with children aged from 2 months to 21 years. The primary focus will be on managing conditions such as prediabetes, diabetes, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. Additionally, cases involving growth restriction, inadequate weight gain, and malnutrition will be addressed.

Experience in renal nutrition is advantageous, as the role includes working with patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and those who have undergone transplantation.

We also operate a neonatal development clinic, where infants facing growth challenges or classified as overweight may be included in this role.

The candidate should demonstrate a commitment to motivating patients and their families, particularly those who may encounter barriers to change due to socioeconomic factors or unique family situations.


Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach with our healthcare team, including providers and nurse practitioners, are essential.


Responsibilities include planning and implementing nutritional interventions tailored to the specific developmental needs of patients, considering aspects such as physical growth, motor skills, communication, social interaction, and safety.

This role also involves coordinating and integrating clinical nutrition services with other departments, committees, and medical professionals within the organization.

Manage the nutritional care of renal patients throughout all stages of pre and post-transplant care, including assessment, intervention, and ongoing support.
