Job overview Family Nurse: Fixed term - 12 months (37.5 hours)

Would you like to be part of a team that makes a lasting difference to the lives of young parents, babies and families? An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Stockport Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) for a 12 month period to cover maternity leave.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, compassionate and motivated Family Nurse who is passionate about building strong therapeutic relationships and supporting young families to achieve positive, lasting change. The post is funded until December 2027, with full-time or part-time working options considered.

Main duties of the job

As a Family Nurse, you will deliver the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) programme to eligible pregnant young women and their families, providing intensive, structured and therapeutic support in the home and community. You will build trusting, respectful relationships with families, working alongside them to develop their confidence, skills and aspirations and to achieve positive outcomes for themselves and their children.

Using evidence-based FNP approaches, you will support families throughout pregnancy and the early years to promote positive pregnancy, parenting, child health and development, and longer-term life-course outcomes. You will work collaboratively with families and partner agencies, coordinating support where needed and helping families to access the right universal and specialist services.

You will be supported through reflective supervision, ongoing professional development and a strong focus on FNP programme fidelity, enabling you to develop your clinical and therapeutic skills while making a meaningful difference to families. You will play a key role in supporting families to progress towards their goals and successfully graduate from the programme when their child reaches two years of age.
