The post holder will lead and support several Trust BFI champions groups, strengthen links with health and social care agencies that come into contact with pregnant and new mothers, and have leadership and managerial qualities.
The post holder will ensure partnership working between primary and secondary care, and hence the delivery of consistent, evidence-based information and support to encourage the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding.
