Overview
Pediatric Registered Dietitian (RD/LDN) – Tube Feeding & Complex Care
Pediatric Specialty Care at Philadelphia | East Falls, Philadelphia, PAPart-Time, Monday–Friday days, flexibility as needed | no on-call
For our kids, nutrition isn't one part of the care plan. It's the foundation.
Most of the 50 children who live at PSC Philadelphia are medically fragile, and many are fed by G-tube or J-tube. Every formula you choose, every calorie you adjust and every growth trend you catch shapes how they grow, heal and thrive. Here, the dietitian is a core member of the care team, not an afterthought.
Why pediatric dietitians choose PSC:
- See your impact over months and years. Our children live here, so you'll follow the same kids as they grow. You won't be discharging patients after a three-day stay.
- Own your caseload. You're the nutrition expert in the building, with the autonomy to set the plan and the team support to carry it out.
- Build rare expertise. Enteral nutrition, growth in complex conditions, feeding progression and nutrition-focused physical exams. This is the experience that sets a pediatric RD's career apart.
- A schedule that respects your life. Weekday daytime hours. No on-call.
- A team that works together. Collaborate daily with nurses, physicians, speech and feeding therapists, and families.
What you get:
- $32 - $42/hour, with more for pediatric and nutrition support experience
- Benefits for part-time staff who meet minimum hours: health, dental, vision | 401(k) | PTO
