Job Title: Nutritional Support Coordinator

Salary Range: $19.00 - $25.00 per hour

Location: Tampa, FL
We are seeking a part-time or full-time qualified nutrition support associate to join our team in an on-site/hybrid position. As a team member, you will play a crucial role in promoting and maintaining the health and well-being of our patients. If you are passionate and looking for a rewarding and dynamic role, we invite you to apply and join our dedicated team. 

What makes us different?
As a healthcare technology company, we provide virtual collaboration with patients. Our Nutritional Support Coordinators are either in-office or remotely based to provide care to patients across the United States. We work differently from traditional settings by reaching patients on their schedule via empowering telehealth conversations.

That’s why we are committed to learning and gathering feedback directly from employees to make changes that benefit our organization.

You will work with patients and their providers to provide educational guidance on developing meal ideas, developing and maintaining healthy eating habits, and providing support in maintaining weight related health goals and wellness needs. 
In addition, you will advocate for their nutritional needs by utilizing active listening skills, investigating patient concerns, documenting appropriately, and communicating professionally with the patient’s care circle to advocate a resolution to those needs.
