Job Information
An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit 1 Part Time (18.5 hours per week) Family Hub Wellbeing Practitioners, to cover our North Locality from Hadston to Berwick upon Tweed. This will be Fixed Term until 31st March 2026
As part of the Family Hub offer, we wish to offer a service which provides non-clinical support to new and expecting mothers and fathers who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties, who may also need support with practical, emotional or environmental issues, such as breastfeeding, establishing routines, reducing social isolation, and supporting financial stability.
