Job overview
Would you like to make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of children, young people and families? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part time Community Early Years Practitioner to join the South Gloucestershire Public Health Nursing locality.
The vacancy is within the Cadbury Heath health visiting team working 18 hours per week over 3 days.
Sirona Public Health Nursing service has undergone an exciting transformation to embed the i-THRIVE Framework. This facilitates a preventative/early intervention approach to service provision which empowers children, young people and their families to be actively involved in decisions about the support they receive.
The health visiting service is a workforce of specialist community public health nurses who provide evidence based information, support and interventions to families with children in the first years of life, and help empower parents to make decisions that affect their families future health and wellbeing.
You will work as part of a skill mix team, supporting the delivery of integrated, evidence based services for children and their families, with a focus on prevention, promotion and early intervention and improving health and reducing health inequalities.
You will promote a holistic and sensitive approach to supporting parents with their children's social, emotional and developmental needs. You will work in a combination of family homes, children's centres, and other community settings.
Advert
You will be required to work in partnership with families, delivering a variety of evidence-based interventions that promote an attuned and sensitive approach to parenting and support the social, emotional and developmental needs of children.
You will work largely autonomously (lone working is a feature of the role) with regular supervision. There will be times when you access additional support or provide additional support with colleagues.
You will be responsible for planning, delivering and recording your allocated work and liaising with Health Visitors and other colleagues.
This role requires a flexible, warm and reflective practitioner committed to ongoing development of their skills and knowledge in order to maintain the excellent standards of the service.
With your team you will work with communities and services within your locality, including early years settings and children's centres to build social capital and community networks.
You will embed Sirona's vision of supporting communities socially and economically to tackle the impact of child poverty, reduce inequalities and add social value.
