Description
The Regional Corporate Dietitian position is a newly founded opportunity at Seasons Care that is designed to offer opportunity for growth and development to Dietitians looking to grow into leadership roles. This is an opportunity to join a progressive, caring, and growing company. We are looking to bolster our leadership team in various ON/BC regions by adding team members with experience who are willing to travel, provide onsite coverages, onboarding new Dietitians, conducting audits, and supporting all Seasons Care stakeholders.
This is currently a part-time casual opportunity which will ebb, flow, and grow as the needs of our communities evolve. That said, this is a great opportunity for growth, taking on a corporate/leadership role, learning from your assigned mentor, advancing your career growth possibilities, and making a difference for Seniors in multiple communities in your region.
This role will be a mix of on-site and virtual work. We pride ourselves on offering a flexible work-life balance to ensure you (and all SC team members) achieve their personal and professional goals.

We continue to grow and welcome you to join our team.
The value of becoming a Seasons Care Team Member includes: personal & professional growth, one-on-one support with your Corporate Dietitians, individualized onboarding program, competitive wages, flexible schedule, work-life balance, gaining experience in a growing sector, working with a passionate team, lateral & vertical growth opportunities, making a difference in lives of Seniors, and ongoing education.
