North Tyneside Council is seeking to recruit qualified Health Visitors (SCPHN) to work within the 0-19 Children’s Public Health Service.

This is your chance to work with an outstanding group of safeguarding and health professionals. The service has close working relationships with the early help service, multiagency safeguarding hub (MASH), education, housing, primary care, midwifery services, and sport and leisure which ensures good outcomes for families and provides positive working relationships for colleagues.

The Signs of Safety model is embedded throughout the service and robust safeguarding supervision is provided to colleagues by Safeguarding Nurse Advisors.

Colleagues are provided with support and supervision from the Nurse Manager throughout their probationary period and beyond and have access to an identified preceptor.

In 2022, a CQC inspection rated the service ‘good’ with outstanding leadership, stating 'All those responsible for delivering care were committed to working collaboratively as a team to benefit children, young people, and their families. They supported each other to provide good care and communicated effectively with other agencies’.

The service was reaccredited in March 2024 with the UNICEF Baby Friendly Gold Award and is supported by a Specialist Infant Feeding Team.

The post holder will be responsible for leading the delivery of the Healthy Child Programme within the context of integrated prevention and early help locality teams. They will ensure universal contact is offered for the five nationally mandated reviews. Additional support and targeted interventions will be offered to those families where additional need is identified.
