Health Visitor

Overview

As from 1st April 2026, the Agenda for Change full-time working week will be reducing from 37 to 36 hours per week.

The post will be based at Newstead, but the successful candidate will be expected to support service delivery across the wider cluster and occasionally other cluster areas if the need arises. Applications will also be considered from trainee Health Visitors approaching the end of their training.
