At Cincinnati Children’s our Human Genetics team provides comprehensive care for children with rare inherited metabolic conditions. These disorders require highly specialized treatment, ongoing monitoring, and close collaboration among providers, dietitians, nurses, patients, and families.

We are seeking a self-motivated, highly organized Registered Nurse II to join our Human Genetics Metabolic Disorders team. This role supports patients and families navigating complex diagnoses while serving as a critical member of a multidisciplinary care team.
