Job Description:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an innovative nurse to work as a Children and Young People’s Learning Disability Nurse within the Community Learning Disability Nursing Service. The Children and Young People’s Learning Disability Team sits within the wider Learning Disability Service.
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated nurse who will embrace the challenge of this dynamic service. You will be a 1st level registered nurse in Learning Disability, Mental Health or Children’s Nursing, holding current UK NMC registration. It is essential to have some experience in working with children, young people or adults with learning disabilities.
You will have the ability to work across professional boundaries, with a strong team work ethic and the aspiration to develop your own clinical skills.
We are looking for highly motivated nurses who are seeking to develop and gain experience, and who possess excellent interpersonal and decision-making skills.
The role involves providing specialist assessment, care planning, and care evaluation to children and young people with a learning disability who require additional support with mental illness, autism, challenging behaviour or ADHD.
You should have excellent communication skills and be able to work with the wider Health and Social Care Team, Education, and Voluntary Agencies, with the ability to work autonomously, utilising your own initiative and clinical judgement.
The role will also involve supporting and deputising for the Senior Children and Young People’s Learning Disability Nurse, and being involved in the development of services.
As this is a community post, you will also be required to travel across Fife.
The Children and Young People with Learning Disabilities Nursing Service is dedicated to the provision of ongoing effective supervision, support, and a commitment to continuous professional development.
