Band 7 Advanced Training Lead - Bristol
Be part of changing the story for families across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
The BNSSG Integrated Care Board (ICB) is funding an ambitious programme to tackle deep‑rooted perinatal mental health inequalities across the region — and we’re looking for someone passionate, creative and community‑focused to help lead this work.
As a Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Training Practitioner, you will design and deliver perinatal‑informed, culturally competent and community‑led training for VCSE organisations supporting communities who too often face barriers to care. These include Black and Brown women and birthing people, Asian communities, refugees and migrants, Gypsy Roma Traveller communities, and people with care experience.
You will work autonomously to build trusted relationships, co‑produce training alongside under‑represented groups, and ensure lived experience is at the heart of everything you create. Your work will support earlier recognition of perinatal mental health needs, more sensitive and effective signposting, and clearer pathways into support.
Hosted within AWP’s Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Service, this role offers a rare opportunity to create meaningful, lasting change — shaping practice, strengthening communities, and improving outcomes for parents and babies across BNSSG.
Lead the design and development of bespoke perinatal mental health training for VCSE organisations funded through the ICB inequalities programme. Ensure training is culturally competent, trauma‑informed, accessible, and co‑produced with under‑represented communities and people with lived experience, embedding principles of parity of access and culturally responsive practice.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
