Job Information: The NBH@Night Helpline Team Member will join an exciting, national project providing quality-assured, peer support to women and families during night-time hours. We are looking to expand our team of night-time staff to provide phone and social media information and support to more women and families. This role will be working on a cover shift basis during the night and will include attending a small number of supervisions, training, line management and team meeting hours during the day (expected to be less than 5 hours per month). The night-time rate of pay is higher to compensate for anti-social hours. The hours for this post will vary as it will be to provide cover for staff sickness and annual leave on an Ad Hoc basis. Therefore, the post holder should expect to work a mixture of late-night (21:30-03:45) and early morning (03:30-09:45) shifts and a mixture of weekday and weekends. This role requires a current BfN Supporter or ABM Breastfeeding Counsellor registration. We would consider the option to transfer in for exceptional applicants who meet our transfer criteria (see person specification). BfN especially welcomes applications from communities which are recognised as being significantly under-served by breastfeeding support, particularly due to ethnic group, disability or living in a community with high levels of deprivation (the top 20% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation in each of the nations of the UK). We are also happy to make reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process. Please email recruitment@breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk to discuss your needs.
