What our practitioners say

"As a Health Visitor I see part of my role as ensuring children and young people have the best start in life working with a range of other agencies to support this makes the role interesting and rewarding." (Karen, Health Visitor)

"Health visiting can be a challenging but rewarding career especially working with many families with complex needs. COVID has developed digital resources which is a positive but does not substitute the school required to complete a holistic assessment on a child and family." (Lucy, Health Visitor)

"As a Health Visitor, enhanced communication skills are essential, not only to successfully work with families but also to address identified risk factors and work within multi agency teams to address safeguarding." (Kati, Health Visitor)

Students will be aligned to a practice assessor in one of the teams in North Yorkshire.

Internal applicants will need to discuss with service manager and have agreement regarding secondment; otherwise this will be a fixed term contract, however there is guaranteed employment as a Health Visitor on completion of course and SCPH registration with NMC

Please note if you are successful at interview you will then need to apply to Hull University separately.
