Cayaba Care . This is a full‑time position located in Memphis, TN.

About Us The United States has the poorest maternal and birth outcomes of all developed countries, with underserved, Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities disproportionately affected. Cayaba Care is working to drastically change the experience of affected communities by reimagining how we deliver meaningful and compassionate care to expectant moms.

Cayaba Care’s mission is to improve pregnancy, birth and the postpartum journey for women and their families by reimagining the delivery of maternity care. Our team focuses on building trust‑based engagement and wrap‑around support for expectant moms at home, in person and virtually; we help our members with care navigation, doula support, lactation assistance, nutrition, housing, transportation and a wide range of other needs. We leverage technology to support our virtual engagement, meeting all moms where they are.

We ensure that our members have trusted sources for support, resources, and information throughout their pregnancy, delivery and well into postpartum. Cayaba Care does not replace the primary obstetrician or doctor’s relationships; instead, we support expectant mothers with all other health‑related social needs not typically available through doctors’ offices.

The Role Cayaba Care is looking for a full‑time Maternity Navigator (MN) to be a trusted partner and advocate for expectant and new mothers. Our MNs are the heart of our work—hired from the communities we serve, they build deep, meaningful relationships with the families they work with. You will act as a bridge between the healthcare system and the community, ensuring that each mother feels heard, empowered, and equipped with the tools she needs for a healthy and joyful pregnancy.

This role will primarily work with Cayaba members in South Memphis, Whitehaven, Hickory Hill, Parkway Village, and North Memphis.
