Located in Cheshire, Halton boasts excellent transport links between Liverpool and Manchester, as well as close proximity to both Liverpool John Lennon and Manchester Airports. Our progressive community strategy aims to bring about meaningful, long-term improvements that enhance lives. It’s an exciting time to join us as we develop new policies and transform the way people access services. We are immensely proud that when asked what’s great about working for Halton, the most popular response from our workforce has been ‘our colleagues’. Our Team: The Infant Feeding Team works closely alongside the Infant Feeding Specialist Lead at Halton 0-19 Service, and in collaboration with Family Hubs, midwives and health visitors. Our collective aim is to increase the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding; not only by providing antenatal information during pregnancy and supporting breastfeeding after birth, but by helping to create a culture in Halton where breastfeeding is the norm. The Infant Feeding service offers infant feeding support and advice to all parents, as well as one to one support with breastfeeding. The team delivers antenatal workshops, introducing solid food workshops and are involved in wider campaigns to promote breastfeeding.

You will have experience of supporting breastfeeding in a voluntary or paid capacity, and an ability to assess and plan care. Hours: 22.5 per week, to be worked over 3 full days. Our Offer: Aside from working with a great team, our employees have access to a fantastic range of benefits, including:<ul><li>A generous annual holiday allowance starting at 34 days per year (including bank holidays), increasing with long service</li><li>Membership of our defined benefit, salary-linked Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) with generous employer contributions</li><li> 3 x Salary Life Cover via Local Government Pension Scheme</li><li> Investment in your personal development</li><li> Free Car Parking at HBC sites </li><li>Flexible working arrangements </li><li>Extensive employee benefits platform including discounted shopping, car leasing, gym memberships, wellbeing hub and Employee Assistance Programme.</li></ul> Next Steps: At Halton Borough Council, we want all of our candidates to feel well-informed so if you would like to have an informal chat about this role, please contact Claire Fyles, Health Improvement Specialist on 0151 511 5405 or <a href="mailto:claire.fyles@halton.gov.uk" target="_blank">claire.fyles@halton.gov.uk</a> Interviews will take place on Tuesday 23rd September 2025.
