With the launch of Family Hubs in Halton, it’s an exciting time to be a part of the children’s agenda. Halton Public Health Team is looking to recruit a Health Improvement Specialist to join its busy Health Improvement Team. We are looking for someone to develop a range of programmes to enhance the breastfeeding peer support offer in Halton and help reduce barriers to breastfeeding in the borough.

With the introduction of Family Hubs in Halton, infant feeding is high on the agenda. Halton Infant Feeding Team works closely alongside the Infant Feeding Specialist Lead at Halton 0-19 Service, and in collaboration with children’s centres, midwives and health visitors. We are looking to expand this service with the introduction of a peer support volunteering programme.

This post-holder will set up an infant feeding volunteering service to complement and enhance the existing Infant Feeding support offer. The role will also involve working closely with local venues, workplaces and public places to encourage and enable a breastfeeding-friendly ethos and environment.

Our collective aim is to increase the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding, to help parents overcome barriers to breastfeeding, and create a culture in Halton where breastfeeding is the norm.

**About you**

Do you have a passion for breastfeeding? Do you have excellent communication and interpersonal skills? Do you have experience managing or supervising a team of staff/volunteers?

We are seeking a motivated and passionate person to join our team; someone who understands the barriers to breastfeeding; someone who wants to make a real change to the culture of infant feeding in Halton.

Interviews will be held on Friday 15th December.
