[See update below.]

The jobs situation is tough these days. You would think that working in a niche area like Natural Family Planning and family apostolate related areas would make it easier, but it isn’t necessarily. So we network. I like CatholicJobs.com, but will keep you abreast of all NFP related jobs. Please let me know if you hear of any, too.

Director of Family Life, Marriage & Respect Life/ Diocese of Tulsa (Oklahoma, USA)

Family Life Coordinator/ Diocese of Dallas (Texas, USA)

Medical Assistants to NFP only OB/GYN/ Divine Mercy Care, Fairfax (Virginia, USA)

[new] Medical Assistant or Licensed Vocational Nurse, Vitae Clinic (Austin, TX, USA)

A pal passed on the news that the USCCB is hiring a new Family Life Director. Actually the office is called “Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth,” which has the not so fabulous acronym of “LMFLY”–lamefly, or lambfly. Check out this job description and consider yourself duly intimidated. (Master’s required, but Ph.D./ S.T.D preferred; 10 years apostolic experience; take charge of four giant areas of service, etc. etc.)

Hey all, if you’re in the NFP/ Family Life Job market, there are some positions opening up (it’s that time of year). [Update: I added the last one 6/16.] Check it:

• NFP Coordinator–Part time, Diocese of Madison (Wisconsin, US), email questions or inquiries to andy.galvin[at]straphael[dot]org
• Family Life Outreach Specialist, Northwest Family Services (Portland, Oregon, US)

• Archdiocesan Director of Family Life (Miami, Florida, US)
• Diocesan Coordinator of Marriage & Family Life (Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston)
• Associate Director of Hispanic Family Ministries, Archdiocese of Newark (Newark, New Jersey, US)

This job was just (re?) posted, so it looks like the Archdiocese of New York is still looking for an NFP Coordinator:

Are you passionate about NFP, and have the experience/ education to prove it? Do you or would you like to live in New York? Reader Batrice, NFP Coordinator herself, tipped me off to this full time NFP Coordinator position in the Archdiocese of New York (listed on CatholicJobs.com & the Archdiocese itself). FYI for those with Marriage & Family Degrees: they apparently are also looking for a Marriage Preparation Coordinator, too.

I was glancing at jobs online this morning, and decided to take a look at what NFP-related work was posted in One More Soul’s job directory. I was delighted to discover a medical office called the Dignity Women’s Center in San Antonio, Texas. I was recently in San Antonio, and it was my understanding there were few Creighton/ FertilityCare services there, but I’m glad that the DWC is open in Texas. Take a look at some of the much-needed services they offer. How about this mission statement:

“Dignity Women’s Center promotes the dignity of women by caring for the total person – physical, psychological, and spiritual.”

Now that’s integrative medicine!

Anyway, if you’re in the San Antone area, and want to work for an office with an office pro-woman mission, check it out:
