Barking, United Kingdom NELFT NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to be part of an integrated pilot looking to support children and their families to achieve a healthy weight and healthy lifestyles.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone that wants to make a real difference to our local communities. Barking and Dagenham has some big public health challenges, including the worst childhood obesity in London and lower life expectancy than the England average. We are one of the 20% most deprived boroughs in England and child poverty is amongst the highest in London boroughs and the country (with 46% of children living in households on the poverty line). We also have the highest proportion of children aged 0-17 in the UK. However, it is also a borough of great change - there is so much going on in Barking and Dagenham, even Hollywood wants to be part of it

Barking and Dagenham’s latest National Childhood measurement programme (NCMP) results 2022 indicate that 12.9 % of Children in Year R are overweight or obese, rising to 52.7 % of children at year 6. These are the highest rates of obesity in England, and result in our children experiencing numerous health and wellbeing complications. For this reason, Barking and Dagenham are piloting a specialist weight management service to tackle and halt rising obesity rates.

Do you have a passion for promoting healthy eating & promoting healthy lifestyles to children & their families? Are you able to motivate people? Do you have experience of working in health, local authority, or education? Would you like to be part of an exciting new integrated role working across both health & Public Health to support children, young people & their families to eat healthily & make sustainable changes towards healthy lifestyles?

We are looking someone who has experience of working with vulnerable children & their families, with an understanding of community-based health programmes working either as a family worker, nursery nurse or other health promotion roles. You need to be self-motivated, have experience of working in collaboration with partners & communities, & be able to lead groups to support & promote health & wellbeing. You must also have experience & understanding of data collection to be able to demonstrate the effectiveness of targeting interventions.
