What are the responsibilities and job description for the Health Educator position at SLC HEALTH INITIATIVE?
We're looking for someone who is confident, compassionate, and completely comfortable having the conversations that matter most — and that not everyone is willing to have. This role requires a specific kind of professional. Someone who can walk into a middle or high school classroom, command respect, deliver sensitive content with confidence and care, and leave students better informed than when they walked in. You'll work independently across multiple school sites, manage your own programming schedule, and be trusted to represent this organization — and this mission — with consistency and integrity every single day.
If you believe that young people deserve access to honest, evidence-based health information, and you have the maturity and skill to deliver it, we want to hear from you!
