Why Nourish?
We believe children learn best when they feel safe, engaged and having fun. Our therapy focuses on building confidence rather than compliance, supporting families with practical strategies that fit into everyday life.
You'll work alongside an experienced paediatric dietitian with extensive experience in feeding therapy and have the opportunity to develop specialised skills in an area that is in high demand.
If you're looking for a workplace that genuinely invests in your growth while making a meaningful difference in children's lives, we'd love to hear from you.
To apply, please send your resume and a short cover letter telling us why you'd like to join the Nourish team. Apply ASAP, as job will be closed once suitable applicant is found.
