We are recruiting for a Nurse Team Leader who share our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.
You will need to be flexible, enthusiastic, and passionate about emergency care, with a strong commitment to enhancing service delivery and advancing nursing practice for the children, young people, and families who rely on our services.
Our Children’s Emergency Department (CED) and Children’s Assessment Unit (CAU) are co-located, providing comprehensive emergency care to approximately 29,000 children and young people each year.
The CAU is a 9-bed unit offering up to 24 hours of care for children and young people referred by a healthcare professional for further assessment by a specialist doctor or for potential admission to hospital.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.
You will act as a positive role model and provide clinical leadership, offering expert guidance to support, supervise, and enable the delivery of safe, high-quality, individualised, and holistic family-centred care. This will be delivered in collaboration with the child, their family/carers, and the multidisciplinary team (MDT), with sensitivity to the unique needs of children and young people, ensuring dignity and privacy at all times.
In this role, you will support the safe, effective, and efficient operational management of the department and nursing team. You’ll work within allocated resources and take on delegated responsibilities in the absence of the Ward/Department Matron or Lead Nurse.
Responsibilities include supporting the implementation and monitoring of robust infection prevention and control measures at ward or departmental level.
You’ll also contribute to maintaining and improving quality standards by monitoring key performance indicators, including patient experience feedback and care observation audits.
This position requires participation in a rotational shift pattern over a 24-hour period, including nights, weekends, and bank holidays, to meet the needs of the service.
At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general & specialist services we provide & our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care.

Such requests, of course, have to be made & considered formally, & will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
