The Venture Centre are looking for an experienced Strategic Lead with maternity/early years’ experience to take up the mantle of managing this established Maternity Champions project.
This is a Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) Public Health-commissioned project, jointly funded with West London Integrated Commissioning Board, and led by Venture Community Association under a contractual agreement with RBKC Public Health. The project aims to develop a skilled and trained cohort of volunteer Maternity Champions specialising in supporting new parents from pregnancy into the first year of a child’s life. Their aim is to increase the uptake of ante and post-natal and early years services, guide and support new parents and encourage parents to form social groups to support each other.
Maternity Champions are located within the six Community Champions projects in Kensington & Chelsea. Activities may be delivered face to face or online and in community, early years and health settings. You will work with the Community Champions project managers to recruit, train and support Maternity Champions local to their neighbourhood. You will also network and form strong professional relationships with maternity and early years providers and services within the 0-5 Pathway, across the borough, creating partnerships for Maternity Champions to formally link with these services.
