Summary
The post will involve providing specialist therapeutic parent-infant mental health support to vulnerable families in the antenatal/postnatal period via Parent Infant Mental Health Assessments, psychological formulation and various parent-infant interventions. The main focus of the BABS work is supporting parents and infants to build secure bonds and attachment relationships, and good parent infant mental health in the antenatal/postnatal period. The service is outcome driven, thus evaluation (carrying out pre and post measures and gathering feedback from parents) is key in evidencing BABSs impact, outcomes and cost benefits. It would be an advantage if the post holder has previous experience and/or an interest and passion for working in the specialist field of parent infant mental health; in particular, experience of working on an outreach, community-basis supporting vulnerable families in the community.
