Position Overview

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of expecting mothers and their families? Healthiest Babies Possible (HBP) is seeking dedicated individuals to provide compassionate support and education on nutrition, maternal wellness, and infant care.

Reporting to the Program Manager, as a Pregnancy Support Worker, you’ll have the opportunity to make meaningful impact by:

• Developing strong rapport and nurturing relationships with clients by explaining program services and understanding their goals and needs.
• Conducting thorough interviews to assess clients' health, lifestyle, and educational needs. Provide educational resources, support, and referrals to community agencies. Distribute food supplement vouchers and prenatal vitamin supplements as necessary through various methods including home visits, office visits, and phone calls.
• Consulting with other professionals in the community (with client consent) to coordinate comprehensive client care.
• Assisting in facilitating (HBP) groups to enhance community support and education.
• Managing new referrals, screen potential clients for program suitability, and maintain accurate and confidential client files following program and policy guidelines.
• Attending regular staff meetings and participate in community meetings as directed by the Program Manager. Collaborate with the Program Manager on client caseloads, status updates, and service plans.
• Making recommendations for program development and improvement. Participate in program evaluations to ensure effectiveness and quality of services provided.
