The community healthcare teams in adults and children’s services are employed by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and deployed to us, working closely with our colleagues in Manchester Local Care Organisation. These posts present an exciting opportunity to work with families and young children to improve health and social outcomes and make a real difference in a true multi‑agency environment.
Applications are welcome for experienced School Nurses who are proactive and enthusiastic, with excellent communication, interpersonal and organisational skills. A willingness and ability to contribute to, and lead changes within children’s services are essential to the role.

The post holders will promote the safeguarding of children, working within a multi‑agency team.
