Lead a team. Influence patient outcomes. Grow your career.

Morrison Healthcare is seeking an experienced Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to lead clinical nutrition services at Grandview Medical Center, a growing acute-care hospital and Level III Trauma Center in Birmingham.

This is more than a traditional clinical dietitian position. As Clinical Nutrition Manager, you will lead and develop a team of nutrition professionals, advance evidence-based clinical practices, contribute to quality and patient-experience initiatives, and collaborate directly with hospital and food-service leadership.

This opportunity is ideal for an RDN who enjoys both clinical practice and people leadership—and wants a visible role with the ability to shape programs, improve outcomes, and develop a high-performing team.

WHAT MAKES THIS OPPORTUNITY DIFFERENT

• Competitive salary of $90,000–$95,000
• $5,000 sign-on bonus
• Monday–Friday schedule
• Visible leadership role within a growing hospital
• Opportunity to lead, mentor, and develop clinical dietitians
• Collaboration with physicians, nursing leaders, hospital administration, and food-service leadership
