Peer Connector

We are looking to recruit a Peer Connector to cover maternity leave within our Bump, Birth and Beyond Team.

**Bump, Birth and Beyond** works across South Yorkshire and in

partnership with community organisations including Family Hubs and

voluntary/community providers.

The Service will offer support in specific neighbourhoods and will ensure a joined-up approach to providing interventions at the

earliest possible opportunity, bringing the offer to the pregnant women, birthing people

and their family, making access and engagement uncomplicated, provided by trusted

local organisations.

The Service offered will be accessible, culturally appropriate and fully responsive to the

needs of South Yorkshire's diverse communities including families with protected

characteristics.

**Service Aims and Desired outcomes**

Giving every child the best start in life, from pregnancy through to late adolescence, is

crucial to reducing health inequalities across the life course. Starting with antenatal

care, the first 1001 days provide a vital opportunity to support the health and wellbeing

of the whole family.

By ensuring pregnant women, birthing people and their families have access to the best

advice, and adequate support to follow this advice, the aim of the Service will be to

improve maternity outcomes and the wider family's health and wellbeing. It will do this

by supporting parents to access services where early intervention and prevention is at

the forefront, offering holistic support to pregnant women, birthing people and their

families about what matters most to them.

Peer Connector will be required to work across South Yorkshire and therefore a full driving license and access to a car is essential.
