Job description

Are you searching for a role that offers variety, growth, and support? As a Band 6 Health Visitor, you'll be part of a multi-disciplinary team delivering the Healthy Child Programme.

You'll work closely with families to create tailored support plans and collaborate with partners like paediatricians, speech and language therapists, and dietitians to achieve the best outcomes for children.

Our Essex Family Wellbeing Services are built on collaboration with the community, for the community. You'll find clear visibility of senior leadership, a hands-on approach from management (yes, even our Managing Director!), and a genuine platform for your voice and ideas to shine.

Working in West Essex means being part of a close-knit team with access to fantastic resources and strong professional networks. Together, we're striving to improve health outcomes for every child and family we serve.

• Deliver the Healthy Child Programme, assessing health needs and implementing care packages.
• Use tools like the Family Health Needs Assessment to plan and evidence care.
• Create individualized care plans alongside families, tailoring them to each child's needs.
• Work closely with other professionals, taking on a lead role when appropriate.
• Support new staff and students, with guidance from our dedicated Practice Education team.

This is your chance to grow your leadership skills while making a tangible difference in the lives of families across Essex.
