Support children and families in their homes and other environments by carrying out developmental assessments and planned individual programmes of care under the leadership of SCPHN. Visit families in a variety of community settings and undertake health promotion activities under the supervision of the SCPHN. Support parents and children with a range of school readiness activities.

Promote health enhancing activities in partnership with other health professionals, statutory, voluntary, community organisations and members of the local population.

Maintain the highest standard of confidentiality and integrity when communicating with service users and the wider public. Communicate with clients, health care professionals and the wider team including local Derbyshire County Council using effective communication skills.
