A Health Specialist will focus on assisting enrolled families in meeting our health related requirements, as well as document their progress through their Head Start enrollment.

Day to Day – What Does It Look Like?
As a Health Specialist, each day will look a little different. Much of the work will be using a computer, but what you do will depend upon the day of the week and the time of the year. Some parts of the year are highly focused on data entry and monitoring health records, others are setting up health events to provide health services to enrolled children.
Other tasks include reporting on the status of children’s health requirements, reviewing policies and procedures, and setting up screenings for enrolled children.
You’ll have a team of managers to work with to make sure the program is meeting all of its requirements.
