Lead Nurse – Health Visiting & Breastfeeding Services

Fife Health and Social Care Partnership

Be part of shaping the future of care for children and families in Fife

We are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to join the Fife Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) as Lead Nurse for Health Visiting and Breastfeeding Services. This key leadership role sits within the Community Children’s Services Senior Management and Leadership Team and comes at a pivotal time of transformation, as we begin to implement the ambitions set out in the Scottish Government’s recently published Health Visiting: Action Plan 2025 to 2035.

In this high-impact role, you will provide strategic and operational leadership to a dedicated, highly skilled nursing workforce, supporting the delivery of safe, effective, and person-centred care for children and families across Fife. Your leadership will be instrumental in embedding service improvements that reflect both local needs and national priorities, particularly in the areas of early intervention, public health, and reducing inequalities.

You will lead the continuous development of Health Visiting and Breastfeeding Services, ensuring alignment with the new national action plan, and supporting integrated, community-based approaches to child and family health. You will work closely with a wide range of partners across the health, social care, education, and third sectors to deliver joined-up care and support.

What we’re looking for:

· A Registered Nurse (NMC) with substantial leadership and operational management experience.

· Evidence of postgraduate education, ideally with relevance to child health, leadership, or community services.

· A strong track record in service improvement, workforce development, and delivering high standards of care.

· Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with a collaborative and proactive approach to leadership.

· Experience in change management, team development, and working within integrated or multi-agency environments.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape services that make a lasting difference to the health and wellbeing of children and families, and to lead a workforce that is central to delivering Fife’s future vision for health visiting. To find out more, please refer to the full job description and person specification.
