If the answer is ‘Yes’, we would very much like to hear from you .
At Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust, we are looking for fully qualified Health Visitors to join our well established Health Visiting Service. Full-time and part-time positions are available. We are a progressive service who encourages innovative, forward thinking professionals, who are keen to embrace change and provide the best quality of care for communities.
Applicants should be a qualified Adult/Child/Mental Health Nurse/Midwife who have qualified (or currently in training) as a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse and require good organisational abilities, excellent interpersonal skills and be able to communicate effectively, utilising electronic and manual systems.
Excellent knowledge of the current health agenda relating to Children’s Services and Health Visiting is a necessity and the ability to meet the travel requirements of the role.
At SWB we have been continuing to re-shape the way Health Visitors work and we keep our Health Visitors working with local families by introducing new and innovative practices. With the provision of laptops and mobile phones to all our staff and with additional technological solutions, we were able to implement the necessary changes to continue to provide the support our families require and welcome.
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB) serves Birmingham and the Black Country – one of the country’s most culturally diverse areas. It’s a friendly and welcoming place – a place where you can belong, and a place where you can grow.
We care for our patients, we care about our population, and we care about our people.
Our values – Ambition, Respect and Compassion – are at the heart of who we are. They guide us every step of the way; how we work with each other, and how we look after our patients and their families; how we respect and value the rich diversity of our team and our community.
Our Trust has always aspired to be more than a hospital, more than a healthcare provider. Our purpose is to “Improve the Life Chances and Health Outcomes of our Population . ” It is what inspires, drives, and unites us every day. It’s what makes us unique.
We want working at SWB to feel like more than just a job. We want our Trust to be a place where you can feel you belong. A place where you feel happy, safe, and rewarded. A place where you can develop your career in whatever way you choose. When we say we’re ‘with you all the way’ we want you to know that we mean it.
