Dietician | Northern Territory
Curis Recruitment is proud to partner with a respected Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation to recruit an experienced Dietitian for a permanent role based in Darwin.
Already working in an ACCHO and ready for a change? This is an opportunity to take your existing Aboriginal health experience into a varied role combining clinical dietetics, community nutrition, health promotion and remote outreach.
Further Details
Forget being stuck in the same consulting room every day. This role gives you the opportunity to work across clinical dietetics, chronic disease, public health nutrition and health promotion, while regularly getting out into remote communities.
You'll work alongside Aboriginal Health Practitioners and Workers to deliver practical, community-led nutrition initiatives and support people living with chronic health conditions.
You will enjoy:
Living in Darwin offers a lifestyle that is hard to find elsewhere in Australia. Year-round tropical warmth, spectacular sunsets, beautiful beaches and a relaxed pace of life make it an incredible place to call home. With great cafes and restaurants, vibrant markets and plenty of outdoor spaces to explore, there's always something to do when you're not at work.
Moving to Darwin gives you the best of both worlds — the convenience of living in a capital city while being surrounded by some of Australia's most spectacular landscapes. It's the perfect base for exploring the Top End, with weekends spent swimming in waterfalls, camping, fishing, four-wheel driving or exploring incredible places like Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks.
There's also a fantastic outdoor and social lifestyle, with live music, festivals, local markets, waterfront dining and the famous Deckchair Cinema. Whether you're looking for adventure, a change of pace or simply more time outdoors, Darwin offers an exciting lifestyle alongside a rewarding career.
