Summary

Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) is an evidence-based community health program that partners Registered Nurses with first-time, low-income Mothers to improve outcomes for both mother and child. The program begins during pregnancy and continues through the child's second birthday.  This position plays a critical leadership role in ensuring the successful implementation of the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) model. It requires a unique combination of clinical expertise, program management skills, and experience in mentoring and supervising nursing and administrative staff.

The Nurse-Family Partnership Program at the Baylor Teen Health Clinic is seeking a Nurse Supervisor to lead and support a team of Nurse Home Visitors and Administrative Staff.

The Nurse Supervisor will also perform occasional home visits, coordinate quality improvement strategies, and collaborate with community advisory boards. Ideal candidates will bring strong clinical leadership and a passion for serving high-risk, low-income populations.
