POSITION OPENINGS:

CAPACITY-BUILDING DIRECTORS

MIGRANT HEALTH PROMOTION

Migrant Health Promotion, a national nonprofit agency dedicated to health

education and advocacy for farmworkers, seeks experienced and committed

individuals to serve as Capacity-Building Directors. The Directors assist

Migrant/Community Health Centers, Voucher Programs, community-based

organizations and others with developing, implementing, and evaluating Camp

Health Aide or Promotor(a) de Salud programs. Responsibilities include

presenting and promoting the Camp Health Aide Program model regionally and

nationally, training Health Center staff in grant writing, program planning,

implementation and evaluation, developing health education programs and

materials, and other related activities.

Preferred skills include health promotion, program development, management,

evaluation, training, facilitation, grant writing, and spoken and written

Spanish. Experience working with Promotores(as) de Salud (Community Health

Workers), migrant and seasonal farmworkers, and Migrant/Community Health Centers

and Voucher Programs is also recommended. A master's degree with specialization

in public health, social work, or a related field -- or the equivalent life

experience -- is preferred.

Currently, two positions are open:

· The Regional Capacity Building Director is based in Migrant Health Promotion's

office in Saline, Michigan. (Saline is 15 minutes from Ann Arbor.) However, we

will also consider outstanding applicants who prefer to work from another

location. In addition to the tasks described above, this position is responsible

for contacts within a specific region (West, Midwest or East). This position

could be full-time or could be split into two half-time positions. The hours are

flexible and could accommodate other work, but travel to migrant health

conferences is required.

· The National Capacity-Building Director is based in Migrant Health Promotion's

office in Saline, Michigan. This is a full time position. In addition to the

tasks described above, this position includes supervising the other

Capacity-Building Directors, writing grant applications and reports, budget

monitoring, and other administrative responsibilities. This position also

oversees the Southeast Michigan Camp Health Aide Program, a Community Health

Worker Program for migrant farmworkers. Responsibilities include supervising the

Program Coordinator, designing objectives and evaluation strategies, writing

grants and reports, monitoring progress on objectives, and conducting focus

groups.

Both positions are grant-funded with some evening and weekend hours expected.

The salary is commensurate with skills and experience and with the non-profit

pay scale. Benefits are very generous. Frequent travel to meetings and

conferences throughout the United States is expected. Migrant Health Promotion

is an equal opportunity employer and offers a fun and supportive work

environment.
