About us at the NCT

A lot of people know NCT for our antenatal classes, and we want to continue to support as many parents and families as we can to access evidence-based information. But we are also much more than this. We are a charity that campaigns on the issues that matter to parents. We run breastfeeding and infant feeding support, provided by specialist counsellors. We run thousands of free community activities and events across the UK, led by our fantastic volunteers and peers. And we support women and families facing specific challenges, such as social isolation, feeding difficulties or poor mental health.

We are delighted to be commissioned to deliver infant feeding peer support within Newham's diverse community. Working in partnership with local infant feeding teams, health visiting and midwifery teams, children centres and volunteer and charity organisations to ensure all parents are able to access the support they need. The post holder is responsible for the recruitment, coordination, support and management of a diverse team of infant feeding peer supporter volunteers across the borough, working in collaboration with NCT's established perinatal peer support work within the borough.

Responsible for the managerial oversight of the Infant Feeding community peer support across Newham, this role will work with diverse and vulnerable groups and make a positive difference by supporting families who experience barriers to accessing support and social isolation in pregnancy and postnatally with feeding their baby.

NCT is a charity committed to social justice and Equity and Diversity, believing inclusion is everyone's responsibility. We believe we all have a collective responsibility to demonstrate our commitment to celebrate diversity, challenge inequality and build an inclusive workforce and environment, so all our people can thrive, and we can best represent and meet the needs of the pregnant women, new parents, families, and communities we serve.
