Health Resource Specialist

The Wisconsin Women’s Health Foundation (WWHF) is a mid-size nonprofit with a 25+ year history of improving health and well-being across Wisconsin. We are seeking a professional to join our Well Badger Resource Center team, a program of WWHF.

The Well Badger Resource Center is Wisconsin’s health information and referral service, helping people find and connect with health, social service, and government programs in their communities. Our team provides personalized support to people across Wisconsin through phone, text, email, chat, and other communication channels. Community members and professionals can also search the Well Badger Online Directory on their own to find resources and services across Wisconsin.

The Specialist will primarily serve as an Information and Referral (I&R) Specialist, working directly with individuals and families to understand their needs, identify appropriate resources, and help them take the next step toward accessing services.

This is a people-centered role that combines problem-solving, resource knowledge, communication, and technology. Specialists listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, research options, and provide information in a clear and respectful way. No two conversations are exactly alike, and the ability to stay curious and resourceful is essential.

The Specialist will also support Well Badger’s Resource Management team as needed, helping maintain the information in the Well Badger Online Directory. This may include verifying resource information, researching programs and services, reviewing listings for accuracy, and helping ensure that the information available to the public is accurate and up to date.

The ideal candidate will have experience working with pregnant and parenting individuals, children and youth with special healthcare needs, and/or low-income individuals and families, as well as an understanding of the barriers people may face when accessing health and social services.
