100 social-service agencies. The nutrition educator will promote
healthy eating by teaching classes and providing other resources to
DCCK cooks, clients and staff members at partner agencies, and
students in the Kitchen’s Culinary Job Training class.

The nutrition educator will work closely with other DCCK staff members
to develop and implement recommendations to improve the nutritional

throughout the year that are aimed at increasing the nutritional
quality of food and educating staff, clients and community partners on
the critical importance of a nutritious diet.

DC Central Kitchen makes nutrition a high priority, and is prepared to
strengthen its commitment even more so. In recent years, the Kitchen
has made big steps to cook with more nutritious ingredients (for
instance, we are an industry leader in sourcing and serving fresh and
local produce) and to provide its clients with more resources to make
healthy choices (we have a library of nutrition lessons on file and
teach more than 100 lessons each year). The nutrition educator will
play a key role in strengthening and expanding already-existing
programs and developing new ones.

*Specific Responsibilities:* *Assist DCCK to continually improve the nutritional quality of meals*

- Work with Procurement Department to research new ingredients and do cost-benefit analyses with the goal of providing more varied and nutritious meals and snacks for our clients.
- Help staff members navigate requirements of government reimbursement programs through which DCCK gets funding for the meals it provides to after-school programs, and brainstorm cost-effective and creative ways to adhere to these guidelines.
- Assist DCCK’s Fresh Start Catering and contract-meal divisions in making menu choices that are nutritious, promote health and are cost-effective.
- Assist Fresh Start Catering in submitting RFPs for new meal contracts by providing information on nutritional content of proposed menu items related to dietary guidelines.

*Provide nutrition education and resources to DCCK staff and CJT students*
- Design and implement ways to educate and inform DCCK staff about nutritional news and information (e.g. staff workshops; posters; etc.).
- Teach weekly nutrition classes to DCCK’s Culinary Job Training students.
- Hold weekly “office hours” to provide nutritional guidance to interested CJT students and staff.

*Provide nutrition education and resources to clients and staff at DCCK partner agencies*
- Teach 3-4 classes per week on nutrition, cooking and shopping on a budget for youth and adult clients at DCCK meal-partner agencies.
- Improve DCCK’s nutrition curriculum by developing new lessons and strengthening current ones.
- Keep up-to-date on nutrition news, and develop new hand-outs and educational resources for clients and staff.
- Host twice-yearly “train the trainer” workshops where agency staff members learn best approaches for teaching clients important principles of nutrition.
- Hold one-on-one training sessions for staff members at meal-partner agencies.
- Work with Agency Relations Coordinator to provide information and resources regarding the nutritional quality of DCCK meals to staff and clients at partner agencies.
- Strengthen and teach DCCK’s “Crock-Pot Workshops,” where clients learn how to shop on a budget and develop recipes for slow-cookers.
- Record data on number of classes and students taught, conduct client evaluations and complete reports on these statistics.
- Work with agency coordinators to schedule lessons.

*Additional duties*
- Work on projects to provide periodic nutrition-related assistance to other DCCK departments as directed by Partner Relations Manager.

- Ability to do high quality work and meet deadlines while juggling multiple assignments.
- Desire to work with low-income populations.
- Strong research and writing skills.
- Project management skills.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.

A federally-funded weight loss research study is seeking a full-time dietitian to deliver its weight loss counseling intervention.

Diet counseling will be delivered in small groups and as individual phone counseling over 1 year of patient follow-up.

Qualified candidates will be a U.S. citizen and a licensed dietitian in the state of North Carolina; research experience is desirable but not required. Targeted salary is federal GS-9-1 ($48,895) with federal fringe benefits. Actual salary is based upon education and experience. Anticipated start date is 9/1/10.

Wake Tech Nutrition/Wellness Course

Wake Tech Nutrition/Wellness Course

I am interested in offering a course
that will give individuals guidance on how to adopt a lifestyle for their
whole family which focuses on nutrition and wellness altogether. Michelle
Obama has really been advocating for a healthy lifestyle for obese children.
I think it would be great to target adults as well. Letting them know how to
get physically fit, healthy eating habits, etc.

I would like for this course to be offered in the Spring of 2011 (starting
in January). If you would like to teach the course, or if you want to refer
someone to teach that would be great. My contact information is below so if
you could please give me feedback on this course idea. Thanks.
