Trosolwg o'r swydd

Children and Family Health Devon (CFHD) is the place to be! We have developed an innovative, integrated model of children’s community services and now looking to appoint enthusiastic individuals to join our friendly and dedicated county-wide professional team.

We are excited to be advertising for a Full Time Early Years Practitioner to support our new Early Child Development Pathway of care in Exeter, Torbay and South Devon

 The Early Child Development Pathway provides assessment and therapy plans for children aged 0 – 5 years where there is evidence of possible or significant delay that is affecting the child in two or three areas of their development.
