About The Position

As a doula serving Pomelo patients, you will educate and guide expecting and new families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. You will play a vital role in improving birth outcomes by ensuring that families feel supported and empowered during this transformative time. This is a 1099 independent contractor role and is not an employment (W-2) position. As an independent contractor, you will not be eligible for employee benefits, including but not limited to health insurance, paid time off, workers’ compensation, or unemployment benefits. Pomelo Care will provide services to support your independent practice, such as client matching, billing, and administrative support. By joining the Pomelo community, we provide the support you need to focus on what you do best -- caring for families. We handle the credentialing, billing, and administrative hassle of accepting insurance, provide client outreach support, and offer dedicated administrative and technical support. You'll also connect with a vibrant and growing network of hundreds of doulas for peer support, shared learning, and connection. You choose how many clients you see through Pomelo, allowing you to set the hours and workload that fit your life. By joining Pomelo, you will get in on the ground floor of a fast-moving, well-funded, and mission-driven startup where you will have a profound impact on the patients we serve. We strive to create an environment where employees from all backgrounds are respected. We value working across disciplines, moving fast, data-driven decision making, learning, and always putting the patient first. We are committed to hiring the best team to improve outcomes for all mothers and babies, regardless of their background. We look to hire people from a variety of backgrounds, including but not limited to race, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, religion, disability, and veteran status.
