You will be working as a member of the health visiting team and alongside both health and early years staff. Your role is to support the health visitor mandated contacts with a particular focus on the 1-4 year old cohort, delivering agreed interventions and supporting engagement in the wealth of activities on offer including family kitchen, stay and plays, forest school and much more.

Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
