Parents 1st are looking for a full-time Father and Partner Wellbeing Coordinator to join Parents 1st UK.

Hours: 37.5 per week (full-time)

Renumeration: £30,639 Plus NEST Pension Scheme

Location: Home based with occasional travel (must be based in Essex)

As experts in perinatal peer support, we believe that every parent deserves support, and every baby deserves the best possible start in life.

If you have lived experience of parenting, an interest in good mental health and emotional wellbeing and understand the challenges experienced by dads/partners during the transition to parenthood, then we’d love to hear from you!

The role:

You will be responsible for coordinating an Essex-wide wellbeing service that assists pre and post birth fathers and partners referred by mental health teams to self-assess their own wellbeing and access appropriate support.

The overall aim of this new service for fathers and partners is to:

  • Reduce their anxiety during the perinatal period (i.e., the period from pregnancy to 1-year post birth) and to help them to find ways to navigate the challenges of parenthood and maintain their emotional wellbeing.
  • Have easier access to support and information designed specifically for their needs.
  • Feel less isolated by having easier access to networks for self-support.
  • Gain knowledge about maternal mental health to enable confident support for mothers and birthing people.
