About The Position

Join our Nurse-Family Partnership Program and use your skills to make a lasting difference for first-time parents and their babies. In this role, you'll build meaningful, long-term relationships with families — starting in pregnancy and continuing through early childhood. Through regular home visits, you'll provide trusted guidance, education, and support that empowers parents to have healthy pregnancies, nurture their child's development, and work toward greater stability and self-sufficiency. Your work won't just impact one moment — it will shape a family's future. You’ll meet families in their own environments and support them with empathy and understanding, offering individualized care that respects each family’s culture, strengths, and goals. Along the way, you’ll collaborate with community partners, connect families with vital resources, and play a key role in improving outcomes throughout your community. If you're looking for more than a traditional nursing role — if you want to build relationships, see real change over time, and be part of a nationally recognized, evidence-based program — this is your opportunity to do meaningful work that truly matters. Apply today and be part of something transformative!
