Our Story: Halton is a vibrant local authority with a rich history and heritage, featuring two iconic bridges that connect communities across the River Mersey. Located in Cheshire, Halton boasts excellent transport links between Liverpool and Manchester, as well as close proximity to both Liverpool John Lennon and Manchester Airports. Our progressive community strategy aims to bring about meaningful, long-term improvements that enhance lives. It’s an exciting time to join us as we develop new policies and transform the way people access services. We are immensely proud that when asked what’s great about working for Halton, the most popular response from our workforce has been ‘our colleagues’. Our Team: The Infant Feeding Team works closely alongside the Infant Feeding Specialist Lead at Halton 0-19 Service, and in collaboration with Family Hubs, midwives and health visitors. Our collective aim is to increase the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding; not only by providing antenatal information during pregnancy and supporting breastfeeding after birth, but by helping to create a culture in Halton where breastfeeding is the norm. The Infant Feeding service offers infant feeding support and advice to all parents, as well as one to one support with breastfeeding. The team delivers antenatal workshops, introducing solid food workshops and are involved in wider campaigns to promote breastfeeding. The core service runs 9am-5pm Monday to Friday, with some evening work to cover workshops and to meet the needs of the service. Services are delivered from a variety of locations, including clients’ homes, Family Hubs, clinics, community venues and agile office working. Your Contributions: Do you have excellent people and communication skills, and enjoy working with the public? Do you have a passion for breastfeeding and extensive knowledge of the benefits? We are seeking a motivated and compassionate person to join our team; someone who understands local health issues and the barriers to breastfeeding.
