We are looking for an experienced qualified paediatric nurse to join our welcoming, dynamic, and supportive Children’s Continuing Care and Assessment Team enabling children with complex physical health needs to live well in the community.
Role Responsibilities
We support children with complex physical health needs in their homes, by completing Health Needs Assessments under Continuing Care criteria. We also support their ongoing medical device and consumable supply, training, advocating, and supporting the child or young person and their family.
As part of the Children’s Complex Needs Nursing Service, we work closely with the wider children’s nursing teams in LSCFT and with the wider MDT supporting the child or young person’s individual needs.
You will be responsible for supporting children and young people with diverse physical health needs, undertaking assessments of children and young people to establish individualised management and treatment plans and determine appropriate interventions and goals.
