THIS IS AN INTERNAL ONLY POSITION
This is an exciting time for early help in Northumberland. We have been selected to be part of the national Family Hub Programme, jointly funded through the Department for Education and the Department for Health and Social Care. The principles of the Family Hub developments are that we will be more accessible to families, better connected to drive progress on joining up and providing a whole family approach, and more relationship centred, building on family and community strengths. This means transforming our existing Children's Centres, currently aimed at 0-5 year olds, to Family Hubs for 0-19 year olds (and 25 for young people with SEND), and building a network of co-located, connected, virtual and digital services.
The postholder will work in partnership with the Harrogate District Foundation Trust (HDFT)Infant Feeding leads to support managers and Family Hub Teams with infant feeding training, and procedures and guidance in line with UNICEF requirements, to enable better breastfeeding support for mothers and fathers/ co-parents, leading to improved breastfeeding rates across the whole of Northumberland. By working in partnership, they will develop and submit the NCC UNICEF stage 3 baby friendly accreditation offer for Family Hubs and once achieved, maintain and embed accreditation.
Working as part of an effective project team, you will be instrumental in driving the Family Hub agenda forward in Northumberland. If you are passionate about improving outcomes for children and families in the county, and thrive on working in a fast-paced environment, apply now
