More about Durham County Government
Your work is concrete: contraceptive and postpartum health services, education, and counseling for women and teens, with the same program also running a Maternal Health Clinic. The schedule is full-time at 37.5 hours, nonexempt. Pay for the senior role is stated from about $64,093 up to about $108,882, and a $6,000 sign-on bonus is listed for the posting. You also take part in precepting new staff and nursing students. One clear tradeoff: you may be asked to work in other clinical areas across the organization, not only Family Planning. Around you, Durham sits slightly under the national cost of living, with a flat state income tax near 4.25% and compact-license reciprocity. Large neighbors like Duke sit nearby if you are weighing options while you decide.
