This includes responsibility for the day to day delegation and reviewing of work undertaken by team members.

The caseload size will be determined locally utilising the national weight load measurement tool as applied to the population of the HSCP within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Derived from the child population either within the GP practice/clusters/geographical locality. The Health Visitor will work collectively within multi-disciplinary/agency teams to identify, plan for and address the wider Public Health needs of the Health Improvement Agenda.

Skills required include the provision of highly specialised advice, parenting skills, health promotion, health education, psycho-social interventions and immunisation. At times high-level health visiting interventions are required when dealing with issues such as child protection, domestic abuse, addictions, peri-natal illness, and children affected by disability and/or life limiting illnesses. Applicants must be a First level registered nurse with a currently valid registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and hold a Post registration qualification in Health Visiting/Public Health Nursing with relevant post registration experience as a PHN/Health Visitor.
