Role

This is an amazing opportunity to join an innovative service covering the Tayside region.

Hospital to Home is our early intervention support service, designed to ensure that no family faces pregnancy, baby or infant loss alone. The service is offered on an opt-out basis, helping bridge the gap between hospital and community services at one of the most difficult times of their lives.

Families are offered 6 - 8 sessions of tailored support during the early weeks and months following their baby's death. This provides a safe, compassionate space to talk, make sense of what has happened and begin to navigate life after loss. As well as emotional support, the service offers practical guidance, including funeral planning, follow up hospital appointments and returning to work.

Working in partnership with NHS colleagues, we provide a seamless transition from hospital to home, ensuring families do not have to find support on their own. Early intervention enables us to recognise signs of complex grief, trauma or additional support needs at an early stage and respond appropriately, helping families access the right support at the right time.

Above all, Hospital to Home helps reduce the isolation and loneliness that so many bereaved parents experience. By surrounding families with compassionate, specialist support from the earliest days of their grief, we help them feel less alone, strengthen their emotional wellbeing and lay the foundations for healthier long-term bereavement outcomes.
