Head of Programme Management

450 Clinton St, Woonsocket, RI 02895, USA
Job Description Posted Monday, August 3, 2026 at 4:00 AM
WIC Program Manager
About the Role Are you a registered dietitian who’s passionate about maternal and child nutrition — and ready to lead a program that makes a direct impact on families in your community? Thundermist Health Center is looking for a WIC Program Manager to oversee the daily operations of our WIC Program in Woonsocket. You’ll manage staff, perform nutrition assessments, coordinate services with community agencies, and maintain the critical liaison between Thundermist, the state WIC agency, and the families you serve. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll split your time between direct nutrition counseling and program administration — ensuring high-quality, compassionate care for some of our most vulnerable community members.
What You’ll Do Clinical & Nutrition Services
Perform nutrition assessments for WIC participants, perinatal patients, and other Thundermist patients
Assess hematological and anthropometric data to inform care plans
Develop individualized nutrition plans to promote compliance and improve health outcomes
Provide approximately 32 hours per week of direct nutrition counseling
Coordinate nutrition services and referrals with Woonsocket community agencies serving children and families, and with Thundermist providers
Coordinate the ongoing operation and management of the Woonsocket WIC Program
Supervise WIC staff, including training, scheduling, and performance oversight
Maintain an active liaison relationship between the state WIC agency, Thundermist staff, and WIC participants
Manage patient flow through the WIC clinic to ensure efficient and positive experiences
Conduct quality assurance reviews of WIC charts and documentation
Troubleshoot and problem-solve issues with the QWIC system and other program technology
Dedicate approximately 8 hours per week to administrative responsibilities
What We’re Looking For You’re a credentialed nutrition professional who combines clinical expertise with strong leadership instincts. You’re comfortable managing a team, navigating state compliance requirements, and sitting across from a new parent to talk about infant nutrition — all in the same day. You care deeply about health equity and meeting families where they are.
Bachelor’s degree from an accredited Nutrition Dietetics program (required)
Minimum 2 years of supervisory experience
Blood handling training (OSHA, hematological and anthropometric measures)
