Responsibilities
Responsible and accountable for assessing and implementing programmes of care from the Healthy Child Programme, as directed by the Specialist Community Public Health Nurse. This may also involve other evidence‑based programmes of care in partnership with clients or other agencies to identify and address health needs. Progress the level of intervention as may be required according to identified risk factors that could impact a child's health outcomes. Provide leadership and act as a role model to junior members of the team by representing the values and beliefs of the nursing profession and aligning to the GHC Values Framework.
Assess global health needs of communities, schools, and their children to ensure children are not disadvantaged through ill health or social circumstances. Promote and monitor health in school‑aged children, including identifying physical and mental health needs, disability and problems with development or behaviour. Work with schools to provide a healthy environment using data from the Online Pupil Survey, in partnership with the Healthy Schools Programme. Facilitate planning and implementation of drop‑in sessions according to the needs of young people and the whole school community.
Preceptorship and Training Opportunities
We provide a multi‑professional preceptorship programme aligned to the National Preceptorship Framework for Nursing and have been awarded the interim quality mark from NHS England. The programme is available to newly qualified nurses, nursing associates, internationally educated practitioners, allied health professionals and return‑to‑practice practitioners. In addition, preceptees can enrol in and complete the level 7 (Master's) 15‑credit validated module Preceptorship for Healthcare (AP7026). Newly qualified social workers are offered the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment programme (ASYE) which is similar to a preceptorship programme.
