Job description


Alma Care is on a mission to revolutionize postpartum care for Canadians. We offer premium postnatal services designed for optimal recovery and lasting family wellness—both in the comfort of families’ homes.

We provide 24/7 care, nutritious meals, lactation support, night doulas, wellness services, and hands-on newborn care education. Inspired by established traditions in countries like South Korea, China, and Israel, our approach redefines how North American families experience the postpartum period. We care for the mother so she can thrive in caring for her baby.

About the Role:
We are seeking Certified Postpartum Doulas based in Ottawa to join our growing Care Team. As a key member of the Alma Care family, you will deliver in-home, personalized support to new mothers and their babies. You’ll bring compassion, professionalism, and expertise into every home you enter—becoming a trusted source of comfort, education, and hands-on care during a family's most intimate and transformative time.
