Summary

About the role We're looking for a Nutrition Assistant to support our dietitian team in developing meal plans and personalised diet and lifestyle plans for Australian clients of Vively, a fast-growing Australian preventive health platform. This role works under the supervision of registered dietitians and does not provide independent clinical advice or communicate directly with clients. All plans and recommendations you draft are reviewed and approved by a dietitian before being shared with any client. This is a great fit for someone with a nutrition or dietetics background who wants to build practical experience supporting a busy Australian digital health service, and who is comfortable working within structured, AI-assisted workflows. Key responsibilities - Draft personalised meal plans and lifestyle plans based on dietitian guidance, client intake information, and de-identified blood test and CGM data - Adapt plans to reflect Australian eating patterns, food availability, supermarket brands, and standard serving sizes - Work within Vively's approved AI-assisted workflows to draft and refine content efficiently — including carefully reviewing and quality-checking AI-generated drafts for accuracy before submitting them for dietitian review - Incorporate dietitian feedback and revise plans accordingly - Maintain accurate records within our practice management system - Handle all health information with strict confidentiality and only within Vively's approved systems - Flag anything outside your scope to the supervising dietitian rather than making a clinical judgement call What the dietitian provides for each plan - Daily calorie or macro targets - Food preferences, likes and dislikes - Allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements - Any other relevant clinical instructions Your job is to turn that guidance into a high-quality, practical, Australian-appropriate plan — not to make clinical decisions. Data handling (important) - You will only work with de-identified client data prepared through our systems - Client information must only ever be processed through Vively-approved tools and workflows — never entered into personal, free, or unapproved AI tools or software - You'll complete our privacy and data-handling training before accessing any client information Essential criteria - Qualification in nutrition or dietetics (degree or diploma level) - Excellent written and spoken English - Strong understanding of Australian dietary guidelines and typical Australian eating patterns, including common supermarket brands, packaged foods, and standard serving sizes - Comfortable working within structured AI-assisted workflows, with the judgement to catch and correct errors in AI-generated drafts - High attention to detail and consistency across documents - Ability to follow supervision and incorporate feedback constructively - Clear understanding of the difference between assistant-level support and clinical dietetic advice - Ability to work independently and follow defined processes - Willingness to complete privacy and confidentiality training before commencing Highly regarded - Experience with nutrition software such as FoodWorks, Cronometer, or Easy Diet Diary - Experience adapting plans across a range of cuisines and cultural eating patterns - Exposure to special dietary needs such as low FODMAP, gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan eating patterns - Prior experience working with an Australian health practice or Australian clients, remotely or otherwise Working arrangements - Fully remote - Overlap with Australian Eastern time (9:00am–5:30pm AEST) for real-time feedback and check-ins - Reliable internet connection and a quiet, private working environment - No direct client contact — all client communication is handled by our Australian dietitian team What we offer - Ongoing training and structured feedback from experienced Australian registered dietitians - A defined workflow and clear scope — you'll always know what's expected - Genuine growth potential as our clinical support function expands - The chance to be part of a fast-growing Australian health-tech company building a new model of preventive care To apply: please include (1) your nutrition/dietetics qualification, (2) a brief note on your experience with Australian food and eating patterns, and (3) if available, an example of a meal plan you've created (with any personal details removed).
