Job summary

We are looking for a proactive and organised Administrator to join our small and friendly Parent-Baby Emotional Wellbeing (PBEW) team in Waltham Forest.

The PBEW Service is a borough-wide triage and therapeutic holding service supporting families during pregnancy and the first two years postpartum. It offers early identification, emotional wellbeing support, and time-limited therapeutic work while clients are awaiting or transitioning into other pathways such as Talking Therapies, PPIMHS, or Family Hubs.

The team is hosted by TH GP Care Group and works in close partnership with Waltham Forest health and early years systems.

This role suits someone who is digitally confident, and enjoys being part of a close-knit, trauma-informed team. We welcome applicants with a calm, friendly approach and a genuine interest in supporting early years and mental health services.

This role is ideal for someone who is looking for shorter, flexible working days across a five-day week and wants to make a meaningful contribution to supporting families in the perinatal period.

This 22.5 hour post is offered as a fixed-term contract until March 2026.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role.
