· Are you passionate about making a difference for families?

· Do you have proven experience in developing Perinatal and Infant Mental Health (PIMH) services within the voluntary or public sector?

All have had to navigate huge uncertainty without the statutory and informal support systems available that they would usually rely on. These experiences have been dramatically unequal with families already at risk of poorer outcomes affected the most.

Home Start UK is now looking for a passionate, knowledgeable and committed individual to be responsible for enhancing its perinatal services for parents across an amazing federated network of around 31 local Home-Starts throughout Scotland.
