Flourish is a social franchise of mom & baby groups, supported by the Grow Great Campaign, a campaign aimed at galvanising South Africa towards achieving zero stunting by 2030. Flourish seeks to provide universal access to aspirational antenatal and postnatal groups that supports and empowers pregnant mothers and their babies through the critical first 1000 days (from conception to the child’s second birthday). Children who receive enough love, food and stimulation during this period of life tend to do better at school and get better jobs as a result. But often parents do not get enough support and information when they are pregnant or when the baby is very young. Flourish seeks to fill this gap by offering antenatal and postnatal support through groups. We are currently recruiting for enthusiastic, self-starters and highly motivated Flourish Coach to train, support and quality assure our franchisee network in Limpopo. Coach will be required to travel extensively within the Province and to Johannesburg on a needs basis and will often work on weekends. A driver’s license is essential. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
