Description

The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center is an independent, non-profit biomedical research organization located in Torrance, California. In dozens of laboratories throughout the campus, researchers are working to unravel the mysteries of heart and kidney disease, cardiac complications in newborns, chronic lung disease, skin cancer, sickle cell disease, disorders of the autoimmune system, and much more. Many of these projects are collaborative in nature, involving experts from different areas of specialization.

  • Demonstrated cultural competence and ability to work effectively with diverse populations.
  • Bilingual (Spanish/English) preferred or willingness to develop proficiency.

Description of Duties:

The Degreed WIC Nutrition Assistant (DWNA) must possess knowledge of maternal and child health, nutrition, and WIC Program regulations, policies, and procedures. The DWNA is responsible for certifying WIC applicants and participants, conducting nutrition and breastfeeding/chestfeeding risk assessments, and providing participant-centered education and counseling.

The position delivers both individual and group nutrition and breastfeeding/chestfeeding education sessions and provides support for common breastfeeding concerns. The DWNA ensures accurate documentation and data entry in WIC WISE and adheres to all program requirements.

In addition, the DWNA participates in outreach and community engagement activities, including health fairs and presentations, to promote WIC services and connect eligible families to care. The position supports overall site operations, maintains accurate records, assists with immunization assessments, and provides coverage at alternate WIC locations.
