Job summary

Are you passionate about supporting babies, parents and families during one of the most important periods of their lives? Do you have the skills and compassion to help families navigate the challenges that can come with perinatal mental health difficulties?

We are looking for a dedicated Parent Infant Practitioner to join Somerset's specialist Perinatal and Maternal Mental Health Service. In this rewarding community-based role, you will work alongside a highly skilled multidisciplinary team, supporting pregnant women, new mothers and their babies where moderate to severe mental health difficulties are impacting family life.

This is an opportunity to make a lasting difference. You will help strengthen parent-infant relationships, promote infant wellbeing and development, and support families to create safe, nurturing environments where both parent and baby can thrive. Every day brings the chance to positively influence outcomes for some of the most vulnerable families in Somerset. This is a highly rewarding role for someone who is passionate about infant mental health, early intervention and supporting families through adversity.

/*generated inline style */
Main duties, tasks & skills required

Working autonomously and as part of a specialist multidisciplinary team, you will provide evidence-based interventions that strengthen the bond between parents and their babies, helping families build confidence, resilience and positive relationships. You will work with families in community settings, undertaking comprehensive assessments and developing tailored plans that address emotional, psychological, physical and social needs.

You will support parents experiencing significant mental health challenges during pregnancy and the postnatal period, helping them understand and respond to their baby's needs while promoting healthy development and emotional wellbeing. Through compassionate, person-centred care, you will empower families to achieve the best possible outcomes for themselves and their children.

Partnership working is at the heart of this role. You will work closely with a wide range of professionals and community services to ensure families receive coordinated, holistic support. You will also contribute to safeguarding processes, child protection planning and risk management, ensuring that the safety and wellbeing of babies remains a central focus.

Alongside your clinical responsibilities, you will have opportunities to share your expertise through training, mentorship and service development activities. You will be encouraged to contribute ideas, support innovation and play an active role in shaping high-quality perinatal and parent-infant services across Somerset.
