Arlington, Virginia, United States Texas Department of Aging & Disability Services Full time
Job Overview:

**Senior Nutrition Specialist**

If you seek a fulfilling career that contributes to the well-being of others, this position is ideal for you.

**Role Summary**

As a Senior Nutrition Specialist, you will play a crucial role in safeguarding the health and safety of residents by conducting thorough inspections and evaluations in long-term care facilities across Texas. Your expertise will ensure compliance with both state and federal regulations.

This role offers a competitive starting salary, comprehensive state benefits including health insurance and retirement plans, and the opportunity to travel to various facilities within your designated region.

In this dynamic field position, you will primarily work in the field rather than in an office setting. However, you will be responsible for documenting findings in detailed reports that outline any deficiencies or violations, as well as recommended corrective actions.

To learn more about the vital work performed by nutrition specialists in long-term care, please refer to our informational resources.

The state of Texas provides numerous benefits to its employees, including eligibility for the Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which can alleviate student loan burdens after meeting specific payment criteria.

We also offer exceptional health benefits, a lifetime monthly retirement annuity, and participation in the Employees Retirement System of Texas.

Key Responsibilities:

Under the guidance of a program manager, you will conduct on-site inspections, investigate complaints and incidents, and perform comprehensive surveys to assess compliance with health and safety regulations.

You will communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders to provide, exchange, or verify information, address inquiries, and resolve issues related to dietary services in Texas long-term care facilities, ensuring that meals cater to the specialized nutritional needs of residents.


You will lead exit conferences with facility staff to discuss findings and assist in developing corrective action plans.

You will prepare inspection or survey reports that detail deficiencies, recommend remedies, and provide narratives to support regulatory conclusions.

You will visit long-term care facilities to confirm the rectification of previously identified regulatory violations.

You will conduct quality assurance reviews of documents prepared by others, such as publications and assessments.

Occasionally, you may be required to provide testimony at hearings or court proceedings regarding policies, procedures, findings, or activities.


Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
Proficient understanding of nutrition standards, dietary sanitation practices, and clinical skills.

Skilled in conducting nutritional assessments in clinical environments.

Ability to foster and maintain effective working relationships with team members and other stakeholders.
Ability to utilize computer systems for report writing.
Ability to operate personal computers and relevant software.
Ability to communicate clearly and effectively, both orally and in writing.
Ability to interpret policies, procedures, and regulations.
Ability to work independently and exercise professional judgment in decision-making.
Ability to integrate complex concepts and navigate intricate procedures.
