Postpartum Registered Nurse

Washington, D.C.

About Us:

The United States has the poorest maternal and birth outcomes of all developed countries with the underserved, Black, Brown, Indigenous communities disproportionately affected. Cayaba Care is working to drastically change the experience of affected communities by reimagining how we deliver meaningful and compassionate care to expectant moms.

Cayaba Care’s mission is to improve pregnancy, birth and the postpartum journey for women and their families by reimagining how maternity care is delivered. Our team is focused on building trust-based engagement and wrap-around support for expectant moms at home, in person and virtually to ensure they have all the social support they need for a successful and joyful pregnancy journey. We help our members with care navigation, doula support, assistance with lactation, nutrition, housing, transportation and a wide range of other needs. We leverage technology to support our virtual engagement that allows us to meet all our moms where they are.

We ensure that our members have trusted sources for support, resources, and information throughout their pregnancy, delivery and well into postpartum. Cayaba Care does not replace the primary obstetrician or doctor’s relationships. Instead, we support expectant mothers with all other health-related social needs not typically available through their doctors’ offices. 

Our Values:

  • Empathy is at the heart of everything we do. We must always center the experiences of the mothers and families we serve, as well as support and uplift one another.
  • Collaboration is what makes us stronger. We achieve the greatest impact when we work together, share knowledge, and elevate each other’s strengths.
  • Resilience reflects our ability to push through challenges, adapt in a fast-changing environment, and remain committed to our mission no matter the obstacles.

The Role:

We are seeking a compassionate and experienced part-time Registered Nurse (RN) to serve as a vital link between clinical care and community-based support for new mothers and their babies. In this role, you will act as a trusted clinical partner to the families we serve, providing guidance throughout the postpartum period. Your responsibilities will include, but not limited to, assessing the medical needs of both mother and baby following NICU discharge, addressing postpartum concerns, and collaborating with Cayaba Maternity Navigators to connect families with non-clinical resources and support.

Care Quality & Training Support

  • Help train Maternity Navigators (MNs) on prenatal and postpartum topics to ensure every Cayaba Care member receives the same high-quality, evidence-based education
  • Be a voice for the community, bringing insights from your experience working with mothers and families in D.C. to help shape Cayaba Care programs that truly meet their needs
  • Foster proactive collaboration between Maternity Navigators and clinicians, including case discussions, knowledge sharing on health education and community resources as needed during care team huddles.

Qualifications:

  • Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in Washington, D.C. and Maryland compact state license (BSN or MS preferred)
  • Based in the Washington, D.C. area, with the ability to conduct in-person visits in Southwest and Southeast D.C.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience providing pregnancy and postpartum care in an outpatient pediatric, OB/GYN, maternal-fetal medicine, or similar ambulatory care setting

  • Comfort and experience building relationships with patients virtually
  • Tech-savvy, with proficiency (or a willingness to quickly learn) platforms such as AthenaOne, Welkin, and MacOS for documentation and communication

Compensation range for this position is between $40-$50/hr. The exact amount will depend on years of direct, relevant experience.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
