Blueberry will NEVER ask you to download software/apps or request sensitive personal information like bank accounts or social security numbers. If you received an email requesting this information it is likely a scam. We are only accepting candidates through our job board. ABOUT BLUEBERRY BALANCE Blueberry Balance is a virtual, pediatric-led metabolic health program for adolescents, built by Blueberry Pediatrics. We pair board-certified pediatricians with in-house registered dietitians and exercise specialists to deliver comprehensive weight-management care - including GLP-1 therapy where clinically appropriate - to teens and their families at home. Adolescent metabolic health is one of the most under-served areas in pediatrics. Most GLP-1 telehealth is built adult-first and gates care at 18, leaving families with elevated-BMI teens to navigate months-long waitlists at hospital-based programs or nothing at all. Balance exists to close that gap with real pediatric expertise and a holistic, family-centered model, never medication in isolation. THE OPPORTUNITY The Registered Dietitian is central to how Balance delivers care. Nutrition is not an add-on to this program — it is half of the treatment. You will review each family's clinical picture, sit with teens and their parents to build a nutrition and care plan that actually fits their life, and stay coordinated with the rest of the care team so every family experiences one coherent plan rather than a set of disconnected touchpoints. This is a role for a dietitian who wants to work at the front edge of adolescent metabolic care, including alongside GLP-1 therapy, and who sees nutrition counseling as a relationship with a family, not a handout. You will also help shape how this care is delivered as the program grows. WHAT YOU’LL OWN - Intake and clinical review - Review intake materials for each new patient, medical history, labs, baseline health evaluation, and prior care, to understand the full clinical picture before the first visit - Identify nutrition-relevant risks, comorbidities, and considerations, and flag anything that needs physician attention PATIENT AND FAMILY CARE - Meet with patients and their families via telehealth to assess needs, goals, eating patterns, and readiness for change - Design an appropriate, individualized nutrition and care plan for each teen, one that fits the family's life, culture, and resources, and that works in concert with medical treatment including GLP-1 therapy where appropriate - Provide ongoing counseling, monitoring, and plan adjustment as the family progresses CARE TEAM COORDINATION - Coordinate with physicians, nurse practitioners, health coaches, and other care team members to ensure cohesive, well-managed care for each family - Contribute the nutrition perspective to case reviews and care-team communication, so the whole team is working from one plan EXPERIENCE YOU’LL NEED - Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) credential with the appropriate education and current licensure - Experience with, and genuine interest in, working with adolescents with obesity or elevated BMI - Experience with, or clear interest in, supporting teens on GLP-1 therapy - Licensed to practice in the Balance states — FL, TX, CA, AZ, MI, IL, NY, NJ, PA, OH, UT, AL — or willing to obtain the appropriate licensing and credentialing - Availability of 30–50+ hours per month, scaling as the program grows - Employment classification 1099 BONUS IF YOU HAVE: - Experience delivering care on a telemedicine platform - Interest in improving care pathways as well as the technology systems that support families, someone who wants to help make the program better, not only work within it - Pediatric or adolescent nutrition experience specifically - Background in behavioral or family-centered counseling approaches TIME COMMITMENT AND GROWTH TRAJECTORY This role starts at 30–50+ hours per month, and we expect the hours to scale as the Balance patient panel grows. Dietitians who want their engagement to expand alongside the program — and who want a hand in shaping how it delivers care — are a stronger fit than those looking for a fixed, unchanging scope. Hourly rate for this contract position is $65/hr. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
