Job summary

We have exciting opportunities for Bank Specialist Community Public Health Nurse's to join our Health Visiting service working with children, families, and communities across South Gloucestershire.

Through your work with families, you will empower them to make decisions that positively impact on their health and wellbeing to improve child outcomes, strengthen our partnership working with other agencies and challenge the wider determinants of health and health inequalities including advocating for those families who find services difficult to access.

Our Health Visiting teams work with families in a variety of setting including the family's home, local children centre's and community venues, therefore you must be mobile and flexible to visit several locations across a wide geographical area, organised and able to prioritise and manage your time.

Main duties of the job

As a specialist community public health nurse, you will provide expert advice, support, and interventions to families with children in the first years of life and help to empower parents to make decisions that positively affect their family's future health and wellbeing.

The main duties of the role include:

  • The delivery of the full-service offer of mandated contacts underpinned by the Healthy Child Programme.
  • To work collaboratively with other agencies to promote health and well-being and improve early identification of need and risks to improve child outcomes.
  • To empower individuals, families, and communities to influence and access services and information and act as an advocate particularly for those families who find services difficult to access.
  • Contribute to safeguarding of children in collaboration with partners using national and local policies to guide professional decision making and action.

The service in South Gloucestershire is led by Health Visitors and supported by a skill mix team.
