Remote Registered Dietitian (RDN) — Plant-Based MNT Build Your Own Schedule

Other Jobs To Apply (July 29, 2026):

Build your schedule. We'll fill your caseload.

Most remote dietitian roles ask you to hustle for your own clients. We don't.

Nutrition as Therapy, Inc. has delivered plant-based Medical Nutrition Therapy since 2007. Our team of 25+ RDNs works from a steady, scheduled patient panel starting day one — no marketing yourself, no building a book of business, no wondering whether tomorrow's calendar will be empty. You show up and practice.

Where our patients are

Most of our patients are in California, with a growing panel in Texas. We're actively credentialing in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Colorado — so if you're licensed or licensable in any of those, tell us.

What the work actually looks like

You'll deliver evidence-based Medical Nutrition Therapy with a plant-forward approach to patients managing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and pediatric nutrition.

We'll be direct about the pace, because it's the thing most candidates want to know and rarely get told:

  • 53-minute initial assessments · 23-minute follow-ups
  • Roughly one patient every 30 minutes during a shift
  • Documentation is clean, structured SOAP notes — and administrative burden is deliberately kept light so your time goes to patients, not paperwork

This is a real clinical cadence. If you're an RDN who finds a full, well-run schedule energizing rather than draining, you'll do well here. If you prefer 90-minute sessions and a light panel, we're honestly not the right fit — and we'd rather say that now.

You'll work independently, but not alone: you're supported by a Program Director, a clinical Lead, and a team of fellow RDNs doing the same work.

Pay, and how you move within the band

$35–$55/hour, based on years of MNT experience, specialty credentials (CDCES, CSR, CSP, CSOWM), and demonstrated depth in plant-based practice. We'll tell you at offer exactly where you land and what moves you up.

Spanish-English bilingual clinicians receive a pay differential. Our patient population needs you, and we compensate for it.

Benefits

  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Real schedule flexibility (below)
  • On-call shifts are paid — whether or not you're called in

You build your own schedule

Choose your working days. Choose your shift length: 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours. Mix and match to reach a minimum of 30 hours per two-week pay period, up to 5 shifts per week.

The commitments, stated plainly:

  • Shifts fall within Pacific Time: Mon–Thu 8 AM–7 PM · Fri–Sat 8 AM–6 PM
  • Two Saturday shifts per month
  • One paid on-call shift per week
  • Team meeting twice monthly, Tuesdays at 6:30 PM PT

What we're looking for

  • Active RDN credential in good standing with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). We verify CDR status before the phone screen — please make sure yours is current.
  • Hands-on MNT experience across chronic disease: diabetes, CVD, obesity, CKD, and/or pediatrics
  • A real foundation in plant-based and plant-forward nutrition — this isn't a preference we hold, it's how we practice
  • Efficiency and confidence carrying a full schedule
  • Comfort with telehealth technology in a fast-moving virtual environment
  • Spanish fluency — strongly preferred and compensated

Your remote setup

You'll need a quiet, private workspace and equipment that can keep up. Please note: this equipment is not provided, so please confirm you have it or are willing to obtain it before applying.

  • Windows 10 or later, or macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later
  • Dual-core processor (Intel Core i3 / AMD Ryzen 3 or better), 8 GB RAM minimum
  • High-speed wired ethernet: 100+ Mbps download, 10–20 Mbps upload (hotspot as backup)
  • Google Chrome
  • Headset
  • Dual monitors
