The Santa Barbara Birth Center is looking to hire a new Midwife Assistant to work alongside our midwives at home and birth center births. We are looking for someone who has experience providing labor support (experienced doula) or someone with nursing, EMS or CNA experience. You must be able to work on-call shifts at night and during the day. We need someone with gentle energy who is knowledgeable about birth.
You will be trained to assist with hands-on skills for birth and the immediate postpartum as well as how to chart in our EHR system.
Our team is a family. We work together closely and aim to have flexibility in scheduling. Our assistants are all working doulas and support each other in their on-call schedules.

Please reach out to our Office Manager and Midwife Assistant, Kari Arcuri, if you are interested in working with our team or would like more information. She can be reached at admin@sbbirthcenter.org
