ABOUT US

As part of the Birmingham Forward Steps Partnership, we provide early years and family support for children aged 0–19 (or 25 with SEND) through our Children’s Centres and Family Hubs across Birmingham. Our safe, welcoming spaces help families access advice, activities and vital support, from health and midwifery links to parenting groups and stay‑and‑play sessions. Guided by compassion, fairness and a commitment to children’s wellbeing, our teams work alongside families to make a meaningful difference where it matters most. Join our Erdington team and walk alongside women through pregnancy and early motherhood, offering practical and emotional support to improve outcomes for mums and babies.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Provide practical and emotional one‑to‑one and group support to women during pregnancy and early motherhood.
Encourage early engagement with maternity services and support women to attend antenatal and postnatal appointments.
Deliver health‑focused interventions to reduce risks such as smoking, high BMI and unmanaged diabetes.
Build trusted, trauma‑informed relationships that promote healthier lifestyle choices and confidence in parenting.
Work closely with midwives, Family Hubs and health partners to coordinate holistic support for women and babies.
Identify safeguarding concerns and follow policies to ensure the safety and wellbeing of mothers and infants.

ABOUT YOU

You hold a relevant Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care, Early Years, Community Work, Public Health or a related field (or equivalent experience).
You have experience supporting women, families or communities, ideally within health, early help or outreach settings.
You’re confident delivering one‑to‑one and group support, including behaviour change or health promotion activities.
You’re a compassionate communicator, able to build trust with women from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
You’re organised, resilient and able to manage your workload while maintaining accurate records and reports.
You’re keen to learn, open to feedback, and motivated by making a long‑term difference for mums and babies.
