Somerset Council is seeking volunteers to join its Public Health Nursing team.
The Public Health Nursing team provides help to families from pregnancy to a child’s fifth birthday, through support sessions held across the County.
Somerset Council says child development in the first five years of life is critical and lays the foundations for a healthy and fulfilled adult life.
Their support sessions can make a big difference to a child’s life, even for years after they’ve stopped attending the sessions.
The role of a volunteer involves:
- Meeting and greeting attendees at group sessions
- Providing refreshments
- Offering general admin support such as recording attendance
- Engaging and interacting with families
Meetings are held in most towns in Somerset with one held close to where you live.
