DESCRIPTION

About the Position

Make a meaningful difference for families—starting from the very beginning.

Lane County Public Health is seeking a Registered Nurse to join our Family & Child Health (FCH) team, delivering the nationally recognized Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) program. In this role, you’ll work one-on-one with first-time parents, beginning in early pregnancy through a child’s second birthday—supporting healthier pregnancies, stronger parent-child relationships, and long-term family stability.

Family & Child Health envisions a community where all families are healthy, safe, and supported. Our programs are grounded in equity, trauma-informed care, and a deep respect for the diverse experiences of the families we serve. As an NFP nurse, you’ll partner with families to reduce toxic stress, build resilience, and connect to resources that support long-term success.

You can learn more about the NFP program at: .

This is a unique nursing role that blends clinical expertise with relationship-based care. You’ll:

• Provide nursing case management and conduct perinatal, child health, and mental health assessments

• Deliver evidence-based health education and parenting support

• Build trusted relationships with families to support their individual goals

• Work independently in the field while managing your own caseload

You’ll serve families throughout Lane County in both rural and urban communities, with a county vehicle available for work-related travel. While much of your time will be spent in homes and community settings, you’ll also have the flexibility to complete documentation and case management remotely. After orientation, this position offers flexible scheduling options, including a Monday–Friday or four-day workweek.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate brings a combination of clinical skill, compassion, and a commitment to equity:

• Passion for supporting families from pregnancy through early childhood

• Understanding of perinatal mental health and early childhood development

• Background in labor & delivery, pediatrics, home health, or mental health

• Ability to work autonomously while building strong, trusting relationships

• Comfort working in family homes across diverse communities

• Understanding of social determinants of health and applying an equity lens in care

In collaboration with community organizations and partner agencies, Public Health promotes optimal health through policies, interventions, and population-health programs based on scientific evidence and emerging best practices, with a particular focus on ensuring all people in Lane County have opportunity and access to environments and systems that support their health.

Schedule : 40hrs/week; either Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. or Monday - Thursday 7:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
