Treehouse is looking to hire a part-time Pediatric Dietitian in our Woodridge and Batavia clinics where we offer pediatric Physical, Occupational, Speech, Pelvic Floor, Feeding, ABA and Nutrition therapies. Treehouse is adding a Pediatric Dietitian to our staff to work as follows:
- Work with clients on the feeding therapy team alongside our speech and feeding therapists
- Work with clients receiving pelvic floor therapy for GI issues
Locally owned and operated, Treehouse opened in February 2012 and currently has a team of over 30 clinical professionals in Woodridge and Batavia. We improve the lives of children that are diagnosed with ASD, sensory processing disorders, speech and language disorders, feeding issues, anxiety, depression, behavior issues, incontinence, physical and other neurological conditions. Treehouse believes that that the best way to help children and their families is through hiring outstanding therapists, equip them with the best resources and provide a supportive culture to thrive in.
We firmly believe that offering a variety of services in one location is a true benefit for our families. This enables our therapists co-treat, collaborate, and ensure a team treatment approach that provides our clients with consistent, comprehensive levels of care. Bringing a a second dietitian onto our team will enable us to serve clients to best of our ability. Our families have expressed a higher level of satisfaction when they are receiving consistent, reliable services under one roof. This reduces their travel time to a variety of clinics, they experience a streamlined billing process, and build a relationship with our clinical and administrative teams.
Many of our clients, and subsequently their families, face nutritional health challenges through a primary diagnosis or secondary to other diagnosis, listed above. We believe that the trust and care we build with our families through our primary therapies will naturally extend to the realm of counseling. We are looking forward to providing this support to our clients and their families. When it is appropriate as determined by the counselor and families, we are excited to collaborate and incorporate counselor recommendations into our other therapies.
Currently, Treehouse Pediatrics has close to 400 weekly clients for its existing services, but have limited hours with our existing Dietitian who will stay on part-time. Our therapists consistently refer clients and their families out of our clinic to meet these needs. With our current client base and waiting list, we feel minimal marketing would be required to build a caseload for a Treehouse Dietitian.
We are excited to offer this opportunity and are looking forward to welcoming a dedicated new team member with fresh ideas, an expansive vision and enthusiasm for planning for the future!
The opportunity can be full-time, part-time, hourly or contracted.
