A part-time opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and motivated Band 4 Community Public Health Associate to work within the newly integrated 0-19 Children's and Young People Public Health Service based in the City North Oxford area and surrounding areas.
The service delivers the mandated contacts for the HCP, with the addition of a new four-year health and development review to support school transition and address any school readiness concerns. The service delivers health promotion groups, well baby drop-in clinics, and infant feeding support groups.
Applicants must have a full valid driving licence and have access to a vehicle for work. Adjustments can be considered in line with the Equality Act 2010 where required.
Within the caseload, and as delegated by the Specialist Community Public Health Nurse (SCPHN), the post holder will contribute to the safe and effective delivery of the 0-19 service. Working alongside the wider team, you will promote children's physical and emotional health and wellbeing, identify health, social, or developmental concerns at the earliest opportunity, and contribute to the aim for all children to have the best possible start in life.
Under the direction of the SCPHN (HV/SHN), the role involves working in partnership with children, young people, families, primary care, schools, statutory, and voluntary services to facilitate health-enhancing activities and improve health outcomes. You will deliver services to children and families within homes and community settings.
Under the delegation of a SCPHN, you will work with children 0-8 years and implement and evaluate episodes/packages of care according to the individual needs of the child/family. You will also run parenting groups and deliver individual and group developmental reviews.
