Full Job Description
The Role:

We are looking for an additional full time Registered Dietitian to join our team onsite at our Los Angeles, CA clinic. This is an opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team committed to providing personalized, compassionate and high-quality SMI care.

The Opportunity:

Dietitians at Amae are a critical part of our patient's care journey, supporting their physical health as well as their mental health. Reporting to the Clinic Director, the Dietitian is accountable for assessing clients' physical health, and developing comprehensive health plans that focus on lifestyle changes across the physical-mental health spectrum - inclusive of diet, exercise, sleep, financial health, relationship health, and treatment compliance. Via individual and group coaching sessions, our goal is to help patients maintain their treatment goals, and give them the tools to reduce stress and improve mindfulness, nutrition and medication adherence and increase physical exercise.

What You'll Work On:

Clinical Nutrition & Patient Support
  • Provide evidence-based nutrition counseling to patients with severe mental illness.
  • Conduct assessments to identify health and behavioral needs and create individualized coaching plans.
  • Implement behavior-change strategies, address barriers, and adjust plans based on patient progress.
  • Support dietary and nutrition-led interventions in partnership with dietitians/nutritionists.

Wellness Programming
  • Lead daily and weekly group activities that promote light movement, physical wellness, and healthy routines.

Interdisciplinary Care Coordination
  • Collaborate with psychiatrists, therapists, and care teams to share updates on patient goals, progress, and clinical considerations.
  • Participate in research initiatives by implementing therapeutic dietary protocols (e.g., ketogenic interventions) and collecting outcome data.

What You'll Have:
  • 2+ years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, working with complex patient populations, preferably in the mental health space
  • Bachelor's degree (BA/BS) in a relevant field such as Nutrition, Dietetics, or a related area from an ACEND-accredited program, along with current registration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR)
  • Strong interpersonal skills and a demonstrated ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team
  • Solid understanding of basic workplace technology, and an interest in utilizing technology to improve outcomes for patients

What We're Building

Most healthcare companies ask you to optimize an existing system. We're building one that has never existed.
  • A national care model designed for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health.
  • Precision medicine for severe mental illness, using multimodal clinical, behavioral, and social data to personalize treatment.
  • A clinical operating system that integrates longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer.
  • New science and measurement frameworks to define what real outcomes look like in SMI.
  • A health-system partnership model proving coordinated SMI care can work at scale.

Compensation & Benefits

Amae Health is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. Base salary range for this role is $75,000 - $105,000 per year (based on experience). Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Parental leave and programs built around well-being. We'll share specifics during the interview process.
