Abundance Coach Contra Costa County

The California Abundant Birth Project (ABP) expansion is seeking an Abundance Coach to join our Abundance Care Team for Contra Costa County.

The Abundant Birth Project is a pilot program that will provide pregnant people with a monthly income supplement during their pregnancy and post-natal periods.

Led by Expecting Justice, this program recognizes that racism has shut far too many parents out of the resources they need for healthy births.

Providing cash during pregnancy is an expedient and humanizing way to support mamas during this critical period of life.

If you want to be a part of this pioneering, anti-racist program, please consider joining our team! To learn more about ABP, visit https://www.expectingjustice.org/about-abp/ 

This is a temporary, grant-funded, full-time, benefitted position.

Employment is provided by Heluna Health.  

Please apply by December 20, 2024 for priority review

Pay rate: $34.62 per hour

Applicants must submit a cover letter and resume to be considered.

If hired for this position, you will be required to provide proof that you are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to your start date, or have a valid religious or medical reason qualifying you for an exemption (that may or may not require accommodation).
