We are looking for breastfeeding peer supporters to support our Hounslow infant feeding service.
About peer support volunteering in Hounslow
NCT is commissioned by Hounslow Council to train and coordinate mothers who have breastfed for at least three months to offer skilled, volunteer parent to parent breastfeeding support across the Hounslow area.
Initially we will provide peer support at one of our Baby Cafes - supporting parents in one of our local groups based in Hounslow. Offering a listening ear, giving information on a range of topics, and facilitating social support.
The course will be held online and consists of 20 hours of training. There will also be homework time (usually 1 hour per week). On satisfactory completion of your workbook, you will receive an OCN accredited qualification in peer supporting.
If you are ready to commit to this course, as well as giving approximately two hours per week volunteering in Hounslow as a breastfeeding peer supporter for at least six months post training, we welcome your application.
If you have any questions, please email the peer support team at hounslowsupport@nct.org.uk.
