We’re expanding our team and are looking for more Nurses to join our charity. You’ll be joining an award-winning, certified Outstanding team, who do all they can to empower children and families to experience as much life as possible.
As a member of the Noah’s Ark Nurse and Specialist Care team, you’ll be encouraged to put the experience of children and families at the heart of all you do. As well as understanding their care needs, you’ll get to know what’s important to each child you support – whether it’s knowing what their favorite song to listen to is, how they like to play, or what sooths them when they are sad - at Noah’s Ark it’s so important that each child is treated as an individual.
Main duties of the job include being an experienced Band 5 Nurse with excellent clinical and communication skills, and being able to work collaboratively with experience leading a multi-skilled team, or having demonstrable experience of leadership with the support from a lead nurse.
Aside from experience, we look for individuals who share our core values of kindness, excellence and courage. We’ll support you to go above and beyond to be there for the children and families we support – we ask that you share this mission with us.
About us
Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice is a Disability Confident employer, and we are committed to safeguarding the families we support. The Ark was opened in September 2019 by the Mayor of London, and we offer Specialist Care and Nursing for babies, children and young people, supporting their full clinical, emotional, social and practical needs.
We are rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, and we are looking for high quality employees to come and be a part of that success. Our expert staff and trained volunteers provide clinical, emotional and practical support for families across North and Central London and Herts Valley.
Job responsibilities
As part of our Specialist Care Team, you will care for children who are staying with us at The Ark and those visiting us for day care. Providing families with choice is central to Noah’s Ark’s care model, so you will also support children in their family homes and in community-settings.
You will be an experienced or senior Band 5 nurse looking to use and develop your skills in the hospice sector. You will have excellent clinical and communication skills, be creative, and want to make a positive difference to the charity.
