    Public Health Volunteers

    Monday, 4 March 2024 08:25

    Somerset Council is seeking volunteers to join its Public Health Nursing team.

    The Public Health Nursing team provides help to families from pregnancy to a child’s fifth birthday, through support sessions held across the County.

    Somerset Council says child development in the first five years of life is critical and lays the foundations for a healthy and fulfilled adult life. 

    Their support sessions can make a big difference to a child’s life, even for years after they’ve stopped attending the sessions.  

    The role of a volunteer involves:

    • Meeting and greeting attendees at group sessions
    • Providing refreshments 
    • Offering general admin support such as recording attendance 
    • Engaging and interacting with families 

    Meetings are held in most towns in Somerset with one held close to where you live.

    If you would like to become a volunteer with Somerset Council’s Public Health Nurses team and help children and their parents live healthier please call 01823 359200 or go to  volunteer@somerset.gov.uk
