Are you passionate about nurturing emotional wellbeing during pregnancy, birth and beyond?

Parents 1st UK has been successfully delivering Peer to Parent Support over the past 3 years and there is scope to extend the Contract in March 2026, to work across the 5 Maternity Hub areas.

Being a parent can often feel overwhelming. Supporting the emotional resilience of mothers, fathers and partners during pregnancy and early parenthood is vital. Peer support is unique and highly valued by parents living in Essex.

An exciting opportunity to join our dynamic team of Link Workers in the Peer to Parent Network has arisen in the Chelmsford Maternity Hub area.

The post is a hybrid role, working 27 hours per week, and travelling within Chelmsford and surrounding areas.

Working in partnership with the Perinatal Mental Health Team and Health, Social Care and Voluntary Sector professionals, you will hold a case load of parents who are referred into the Service.

Your personal qualities, ability to support parents facing challenges, and your experience of mental health issues are more important than formal qualifications. Full induction and training will be provided by Parents 1st UK including an opportunity to gain a level 3 CACHE qualification in Peer Support.

If you live in Chelmsford or the Mid Essex area and think you may be suitable for this role, we would love to hear from you.
