An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic Specialist Public Health Practitioner (Health Visitor) to join our Integrated Healthy Families Team within the Rushcliffe North Locality.

We are an integrated service, working with children and young people aged 0-19 and their families. Care is delivered in line with the National and Local guidelines and public health priorities.

You will work as part of a team to deliver universal and targeted health services to the 0-19 year population and will be responsible for the day‑to‑day leadership of a defined caseload, managing and supporting a skill mix team.
