Find out what professionals work in the Family Hubs team and how they can help you.
The team works with families with children under 5 years old. They can work with them individually and in groups, both in the home and in the family hub.
The team will work closely with you and with other professionals such as midwives, GPs, speech therapists, social workers and school nurses, to plan the best care and support for you and your child.
Health visitors are qualified nurses who have undertaken further specialist training in community and child health. Your health visitor may be a woman or a man. They will see all children and visit in the home, as well as offer services at the family hub.
Health visitors lead health care professionals within children's centres and work closely with other professionals.

Early years educators and community nursery nurses work alongside the health visitors. They are trained in childcare, development and play, and can advise on health issues. They support families where children or parents have additional needs, under the guidance of the health visitor. They will work with you in the home as well as running groups and activities at the centres. They will also work with dads and male carers to support them to become more positively involved in their children’s lives.

Our volunteer skills development coordinators can help parents and carers to volunteer in the centre or local community, and can also give advice about local training courses and help with getting back to work. For more information, call into your local Family Hub. Group support workers work in the family hubs, and help with the running of many of the groups and activities.
