PARENT charity NCT is looking to train women from Harlow to study on its foundation degree and support parents in their community.

The UK’s largest charity for parents seeks students to qualify for roles such as antenatal teachers, breastfeeding counsellors, postnatal practitioners and doulas.

Head of NCT College Clea Harmer said: “We’re trying to make this qualification accessible to women in Harlow as we particularly need practitioners in the area to support parents.

“Being an NCT practitioner is a great way to work with new mums and dads on their journey through early parenthood and it can be an extremely rewarding role.”

NCT’s Foundation Degree, accredited by the University of Worcester, is delivered flexibly through nationwide tutorials and study days, online and self-directed learning.

Applicants can study either full-time or part-time to suit family and other commitments. NCT offers a range of financial support packages and offers many bursaries to reduce the cost of training, some of which reduce fees by up to 70 per cent.
