ABOUT COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS AT FFLC: Food for Lane County (FFLC) serves 85,000+ people across Lane County each year. About 1 in 8 adults and 1 in 5 children in Lane County are unable to meet their food needs from day to day. At FFLC, we know that food is medicine, which is why our mission is to reduce food insecurity by engaging the community to create access to food. Those we serve include families, veterans, unhoused, marginalized, disabled, seniors, and anyone with low/no income. FFLC’s Community Health Programs provide members of our community with services that support their nutrition, health, and wellbeing. Community Health Workers (CHWs) are a core component of these programs.

SUMMARY OF POSITION: We are currently hiring for multiple Community Health Workers to play a vital role in supporting the health and nutrition goals of low-income families and individuals in Lane County. By engaging with individuals and groups, our Community Health Workers will help members of the community access local food assistance programs and other social services.

A person in this role will provide resource referrals, screenings, and education to community members based on their eligibility and interest in available food assistance supports and other appropriate programs. They will provide excellent customer service to all community members and to staff in a professional, enthusiastic, courteous, and compassionate manner; answer calls, provide referrals, and convey program information to the public by phone, as well as in-person at community events and FFLC programs.

Ideal candidates will have a passion for helping people, the ability to learn information, processes, and adapt to change quickly, and take initiative to connect and engage with community members in creative ways.

This role may work remotely from a private space, with periodic in-person activities at FFLC offices and community sites in and around Eugene, Oregon. Some local travel in and around Eugene, OR and Lane County using a personal vehicle will be required.

A work-issued laptop computer will be provided.

Bilingual proficiency in Spanish and English as well as Community Health Worker certification (or the willingness to obtain it) is preferred. FFLC may cover the cost of the CHW training and certification if needed.

The Community Health Worker will report to the Community Benefits Supervisor.
