Community Health Worker - Cradle
About The Position
Cradle Cincinnati was founded in 2013 as a collaborative effort between parents, caregivers, healthcare professionals and community members with a commitment to reduce infant mortality in our community. In Hamilton County, 8.1 babies died for every 1,000 who were born from 2017-2021. That’s a dramatic improvement from where we have been in the past, but our work is far from complete. This position will act as the central point of contact in the support, direction, and successful delivery of a program and its objectives. Programs are ongoing activities working toward a mission with no specified end date or an end date that is defined as being many years into the future (as in the case of a long-term grant program). Programs typically have formal names, a mission, and a wide variety of functions performed by a multi-disciplinary team. Requires full proficiency through job-related training and considerable on-the-job experience to perform a range of tasks. Non-routine problems are solved by applying precedents and existing processes to new situations. Identifies key issues and patterns from partial or conflicting data. Works under limited supervision for routine situations. May act as an informal resource for colleagues with less experience.
