Our health visiting service provides support to families (adults) with children aged zero to five. You’ll be juggling a varied caseload and you’ll need to be confident and flexible to provide the best support for new and growing families.
You will work as part of a team to keep children safe and well by using your clinical judgment to support evidence-based care planning and ensure that children and families (adults) who use our services have a positive experience.

* Attending and contributing to team meetings
* Building relationships with colleagues to enhance team working environment.
We have full and part-time opportunities ranging from a minimum of hours to a maximum of hours per week, between 9 am to 5 pm. This role is community-based, so the majority of your duties will be carried out between your base and community settings or client homes.
