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 breastfeeding community support groups across the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) health board area. Some of the key responsibilities of the role include:

* Delivering all inductions for Peer Supporters.
* Responding to referrals and signposting from health professionals into the service.

You must have good communication skills and be able to build relationships and create a rapport with a wide range of people easily.
