We currently have the following vacancies.
Three days a week (24h) – can be worked flexibly.
Pro-rated salary up to £21,000 – 24,000 per annum (£35,000-£40,000 FTE).
Primarily home based but with travel across the UK once COVID restrictions allow.
Fixed term contract (18 months) with the potential for extension pending funding.
The Parent-Infant Foundation is seeking a skilled relationship builder with experience of development, implementation, or service delivery, to help us deliver our mission of growing and supporting quality development of parent-infant relationship teams across the UK.
We are an expanding organisation, with an ambitious strategy which, if successful, will lead to increasing work from an ever-greater number of local teams. In the last 12 months, the number of parent-infant teams has increased from 27 to 36, with further emerging teams having been identified. The potential to grow the number of teams and to offer outreach to warm sites now exceeds our current development capacity, hence the development of this new role within the organisation.
The National Development Manager will develop and strengthen the relationships between teams and the Foundation and between teams themselves as part of the Parent-Infant Teams Network. You will be responsible for developing our offer of support to teams, which will include one to one development and implementation advice about commissioning, service design, delivery, and evaluation. You will scope potential new sites and pursue opportunities for development. You will strengthen the communication exchange between frontline teams and the Foundation team, including policy, campaigning, and communications work, allowing us to gather data and intelligence, offer better tailored support, disseminate learning more effectively and better understand the barriers to growth and sustainability at a local level.
The role builds on the work to date of our Head of Clinical Strategy and Development, the Scotland Coordinator and the Implementation Support Manager in developing the Parent-Infant Team network, working closely with emerging teams and testing our Development and Implementation Toolkit.
This role is ideally suited to someone with experience of building successful, collaborative relationships with practitioners and commissioners within the NHS, local authority, or charity sectors, and who understands the barriers and enablers of successful service development.
You will be passionate about the value of parent-infant relationships and the role of specialised teams to support them. You will be a self-motivated individual, comfortable working in a small, home-based, team.
Please read the job description and apply through Charity Job by submitting a covering letter of no more than two pages explaining why you would be perfect for this role, along with a clear, up to date CV (maximum two pages) that demonstrates the experience and knowledge you would bring to the role.
