Love helping people change their lives? Come do it every single day.

Medi-Weightloss® is a physician-supervised weight loss program built on five keys to wellness: nutrition, fitness, medicine, education, and motivation. Since 2005, our providers and coaches have helped tens of thousands of patients lose weight and keep it off — and our results speak for themselves.

We’re hiring a Nutrition Counselor for our Winter Garden clinic. This is a hands-on, patient-facing role for a true “people person” who lights up when someone hits a goal. You’ll see the same patients week after week, learn their stories, and be the person who keeps them going when the scale gets stubborn.

No medical background? That’s okay. If you have the heart and the work ethic, we’ll train you on medical assisting skills — vitals, injections, ECG, phlebotomy, and metabolic testing. If you’re already an MA, even better.

What you’ll do

Coach patients weekly in one-on-one consultations on nutrition, exercise, and behavior change — under the supervision of our physician and clinical team

Make outbound calls to patients every day — progress follow-ups, check-ins on missed appointments, reminders, and re-engagement calls. This is a core part of the job, not an occasional task.

Build real relationships that keep patients accountable, motivated, and coming back

Perform clinical support tasks — vitals, intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SQ) injections, ECGs, blood draws, and metabolic testing (training provided)

Document every patient interaction accurately in our EMR

Support the provider work together to provide the highest level of patient care

Keep the clinic moving — help with front-desk coverage, scheduling, product and supplement sales, and clinic flow as needed

  • What we’re looking for
  • Must-haves
  • A genuine passion for helping people get healthy — this is the non-negotiable

Solid working knowledge of nutrition and exercise fundamentals, and the ability to explain them in plain language

Comfort and confidence on the phone — you’re not afraid to pick it up and call a patient

The ability to thrive in a fast-paced clinic: back-to-back appointments, shifting priorities, multitasking without dropping the ball

  • Strong communication skills, warmth, and professionalism with every patient
  • Basic computer skills and comfort learning an EMR system
  • Dependability — patients count on you being there

Availability across our full schedule, including 6:00 AM arrival, two evenings a week until 7:00 PM, and Saturday mornings

  • Willingness to be cross-trained on medical assisting skills, including giving injections and drawing blood
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Willingness to complete a background check in accordance with applicable laws
  • Nice-to-haves (we’ll train the right person)
  • Medical Assistant experience or certification (CMA/RMA)
  • Phlebotomy experience
  • Experience administering IM/SQ injections
  • ECG experience
  • Certification or a degree in nutrition, dietetics, health coaching, exercise science, or a related field
  • Experience in weight loss, wellness, med spa, primary care, or fitness
  • Prior experience with patient outreach calls or sales
  • Why you’ll like working here
  • Starting pay of $18.00/hour, with room above that based on experience
  • Medical insurance
  • Paid time off
  • 401(k)
  • Paid, hands-on clinical training — medical assisting skills you’ll keep for life
  • A small, tight-knit team where you actually see the impact of your work
  • Job type: Full-time
  • Pay: From $18.00 per hour (commensurate with experience)
  • Benefits: Medical insurance, paid time off, 401(k)
