Health Visitor - Children and Families

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 40,000 staff across a wide range of clinical and non‑clinical professions and roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Health Visitor posts within the Children's Nursing Service in East Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership.

The Health Visitor is an autonomous practitioner who works within the legal and ethical framework of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and national legislation. You will have overall responsibility for the supervision and management of a health visiting caseload, ensuring the delivery of high‑quality, evidence‑based care through robust assessment, referral, communication, and intervention planning.

You will work collaboratively with multidisciplinary and multi‑agency teams to identify, plan for, and address the wider public health needs of children and families, supporting the Health Improvement Agenda through evidence‑based practice.

All roles will be assessed for sponsorship eligibility in line with current Home Office requirements. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) can only issue a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) where these are met.
