Community Children’s Nurse – Band 5 (Rotational)
Recent investment in the Children and Young People’s Community Nursing Service has created opportunities for Children’s Nurses or Learning Disability Nurses. We are seeking an experienced nurse passionate about working with children with complex health needs. The role involves supporting staff in providing care across community environments such as schools, homes, and respite settings.
This position offers a valuable opportunity to join an experienced team, develop your professional skills, and make a meaningful difference. You will be part of a team dedicated to delivering excellent clinical care in various settings including patients’ homes, special schools, and residential respite facilities. The role is ideal for displaying your nursing expertise and contributing to an innovative service.
We are looking for compassionate, committed colleagues with experience in nursing children and young people with various medical conditions, including complex and palliative care needs. An extensive portfolio of clinical nursing skills supporting these needs is essential. Our service covers children who are technology-dependent, require palliative and respite care, and have continuing or complex medical needs.
As a CCN, you will primarily work within a specific team but also support other teams within the wider service. You should be able to work independently to assess patients, plan, and implement care models under the guidance of band 6 nurses. The role involves providing clinical care in community settings and supporting training of unqualified staff, using a Competency Framework.
Teamwork and multi-agency collaboration skills are crucial, as the role involves working with education and social care to provide holistic care. Good communication skills, autonomy, a sense of fun, and creativity are valued traits. We offer an inspiring environment focused on supporting children and young people to reach their full potential.
