An NHS trust has launched a recruitment drive to increase the number of health visitors, to help support children and families.

Student or registered nurses, experienced, former or newly qualified health visitors as well as nurses thinking about a change of career can apply to the North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT).

Gill Mills, director of children’s services at NELFT, said: “The aim is boost to the service, supporting local families in the community and strengthening collaborative work with GP practices, children’s centres and early education settings.”
