About The Village Postnatal Retreat

Our mission is to provide an exceptional postnatal experience and empower new parents

The Village takes postnatal care to an entirely new level. Our goal is to improve Maternal Health in the postpartum period by providing personalized concierge style care through our Postnatal Retreat Center. Families can focus on rest, recuperation and easing into parenthood with our trained staff who look after both them and their babies. Meals, therapeutic services, and lactation consultants will be available on premises.

The Village Postnatal Retreat Center wants to empower both our team members and guests. We feel that the key to happy team members is making sure everyone feels good about their career. We want our guests to feel that they are pampered and supported by people who care.

Postnatal Care Specialist (PCS) helps guests to rest and recover by providing supportive, comforting, and compassionate care. PCS receive direction from Managers and Directors and collaborate with the Care Team to meet identified goals of the guest and shift. You regularly communicate with the team related to any progress, concerns, questions, or issues that arise.

As a PCS caring for our guests, you will be essential to the mission of The Village Postnatal Retreat Center. You will be responsible for maintaining a safe, clean, and healthy work environment for guests and fellow teammates. PCS demonstrate the ability to be flexible, organized, and professional. All PCS are expected to remain professional and supportive team players during periods of stress and emergency situations.
