Excellent oral and written communication skills. Demonstrated ability to relate well to individuals from diverse ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Valid Driver's License and reliable private transportation for travel to outlying service clinics if required.

Preferred Qualifications:

One or more years of direct experience working within the WIC program (highly preferred). Experience or formal training in utilizing Motivational Interviewing. Experience counseling breastfeeding women. Bilingual (Spanish/English) communication skills.

Hours:

Approximately 8 to 24 hours per week. The exact schedule will be determined based on clinic needs; typically, hours will fall between 8:00 and 4:30, Monday-Friday, and remote work may be integrated into the schedule.
