Dietitian and Nutritionist
33 open positions in this category
OPM series 0630. Dietitians and nutritionists who plan diets, counsel patients, and run nutrition programs in healthcare, research, and public health settings.
In the federal government, 0630 is dominated by clinical dietitians in Veterans Health Administration medical centers and clinics, where they work on inpatient wards, in outpatient teams and increasingly in home-based care, with a smaller number of positions in military and other health programs.
Recent listings have included clinical dietitians, clinical dietitians assigned to Home-Based Primary Care and to Patient Aligned Care Teams, several of them with recruitment or relocation incentives, a whole-health and employee well-being program coordinator, a supervisory clinical nutrition dietitian and a holistic health dietitian in the Air Force’s Space Systems Command.
Applying tip: VA dietitian announcements require registration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration and the specific degree and supervised-practice background that goes with it, so have your registration number and transcripts ready. Home-based and team-based positions describe a mix of clinic, home visit and virtual work, and the announcement, not the job title, says how much of each. The federal benefits guide is a useful companion when weighing an offer against private health systems.
