We are looking for an organised, proactive and talented team member to support our Glasgow Breastfeeding Buddies project. This role is home-based but will include travel across the NHS GGC region (expenses will be reimbursed).
About the Role
You will be responsible for delivering face-to-face cot side breastfeeding support to families, both individually and alongside NCT Peer Support volunteers, in the neonatal units throughout the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) Health Board.
* Support volunteers to assist families within the neonatal wards.
* Provide, as required, informal breastfeeding peer support to mothers in line with the NCT peer support code of conduct and the memorandum of understanding with NHS GGC.
* Support NHS GGC Healthcare Professionals with monitoring and reviewing where appropriate.
* Participate in reflective support with Neonatal Infant Feeding Lead, as required.
* Report any concerns or additional support needs of women to the NCT management team and/or Infant Feeding Lead for referral onto partner agencies as appropriate.
You must have good communication skills and be able to build relationships and create a rapport with a wide range of people easily. This is a large and complex project and covers multiple locations so you must be able to confidently prioritise your own work, be highly organised and able to work independently.
It is essential for this post that you undertake the training to become an NCT Breastfeeding Peer Supporter and Neonatal Peer Supporter. This requires breastfeeding experience of at least 3 months. The training can be undertaken within your working hours.
The role is 12 hours per week and may include occasional evening and weekends.
