Are you a newly qualified SCPHN health visitor or someone with slightly more experience looking for a new challenge?
Would you thrive working within an enthusiastic, forward-thinking team?
Here in Wokingham, we are a lovely team with a real sense of team spirit and we are looking for someone who shares our values to join our 0-19 service.
Whatever your experience, we will ensure you receive individualized and effective support from both your health visiting line manager and colleagues within your team. If you have not done your prescribing course, it is something we can support with.
You will work within the Bracknell area to deliver core and targeted services to children aged 0-5 and their families.
For this role, you will require excellent communication and interpersonal skills as well as a passion for working with children and families.
Team working, flexibility, and the ability to work in partnership with other teams and agencies are essential. You will collaborate with Children’s Centres in the implementation of the Healthy Child programme underpinned by the Solihull Approach model of working.
If successful, your base will be Wokingham Community Hospital; however, your role will require you to visit homes across Berkshire (mileage will be compensated).
