UHP (Unlock Human Potential)

UHP is a veteran-focused education and leadership development organization based on an 800-acre campus in Northwest Arkansas. Through immersive, high-impact programs, we develop service members and veterans into leaders—equipped with the skills, mindset, and purpose to thrive in their next chapter.

Our approach is built on four core pillars: Think. Train. Feel. Lead.

We integrate human performance, leadership development, and real-world skill building to prepare individuals for meaningful, long-term careers.

Registered Dietitian & Nutrition Instructor

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact opportunity for a Registered Dietitian & Nutrition Instructor to shape how nutrition is taught, applied, and experienced across UHP.

You will lead the nutrition lane within our programs—educating future coaches, influencing campus-wide food strategy, and ensuring nutrition is integrated into performance, leadership, and daily life on campus.

This is not a traditional clinical role. This is a builder, educator, and leader position with direct impact on student outcomes and the broader UHP experience.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver engaging, application-focused nutrition instruction across CPT, IHC, and CNC programs
• Lead and evolve the nutrition curriculum within the CNC program
• Teach performance fueling, culinary nutrition, behavior change, and real-world coaching application
• Partner with chefs and kitchen leadership to align meals, snacks, and recovery with performance goals
• Translate nutrition science into practical, scalable systems across campus
• Mentor instructors and support the development of teaching staff
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure nutrition is embedded across all programs
