Main duties of the job

We are well known for our creative approach in supporting our communities, children and families with great innovations including ChatHealth, a text‑messaging advice service; the Parent Portal, an interactive web‑based information hub for parents; and our partnership with Barnardo’s which offers community‑based public health programmes. We are proud of having achieved BFI accreditation at gold standard.

We need a qualified Health Visitor (NMC registered) who is highly skilled in communication, teamwork and has a strong approach to delivery of the Healthy Child Programme, especially the 6 High Impact Areas, using evidence‑based practice.
