**South Community Birth Program** is a multi-disciplinary team of family physicians, registered midwives, nurses, and doulas working together to offer complete perinatal and postpartum care for a multiethnic, low-income demographic including new immigrants and refugees as well as other underserved populations. We are hiring a **Part-Time (0.6 FTE) Community Health worker** in the **Vancouver** Area.

**Start Date**: Jan 15, 2025

**Salary**: One-year contract with a salary range of **$27.06 to $27.84** per hour, with 20% in lieu of benefits. Upon completion of this contract there may be an opportunity to transition into an employee position with full benefits.

**Role**:The Community Health Worker (CHW) provides patient outreach, supportive counseling, and culturally sensitive health promotion to pregnant people and their families. CHW support focuses on Social Determinants of Health, the non-medical factors and systems that shape the quality of daily life and influence health outcomes.

The SCBP Community Health Worker is:
**Patient-led**means that the SCBP patients and their families set their own priorities for what they want to work on with their Community Health Worker. CHWs help identify areas needing attention by providing resources, background knowledge, and options. They support the implementation of these priorities by offering encouragement, structure, and accountability.

**Strengths-based** means that discussions begin with an acknowledgment of the strengths and resilience that have enabled SCBP families to persevere and thrive up to this point in their lives. It involves recognizing individuals as the experts in their own lives, with CHWs serving to offer options, encouragement, and support, rather than aiming to correct or fix individuals.

**Capacity building**means that the role of CHWs is to help SCBP patients develop their own understanding of their situation and their ability to effect change. This approach involves working collaboratively, maintaining transparency, and encouraging SCBP patients and families to learn skills in system navigation, resource identification, and self-advocacy.

**Community integrated** means that CHWs approach their role as peers and aim to build equitable and supportive relationships. They build upon connections rooted in shared identities—such as language, culture, and nationality—as well as common experiences, including migration, poverty, single parenting, housing instability, addiction, and mental health challenges.
