Community Educator

A Community Educator provides support and advice to nursing mothers on breastfeeding and other topics. You might promote breastfeeding in the community and conduct information sessions and health clinics. Community Educators might provide support to mothers in a one-on-one environment or speak to small groups of new or expecting parents.

Community Educators should have excellent communication skills and must be able to work with new parents from a range of backgrounds. It’s important you have strong interpersonal skills and can understand your clients’ concerns. Community Educators must be up to date with current breastfeeding techniques and be able to adapt their knowledge to suit a range of circumstances.
