Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, motivated and dynamic Children’s Respiratory Nurse Specialist to join our Respiratory Specialist Nursing Team.

The role covers three specialist areas: asthma, allergy and cystic fibrosis, with the post holder working across Kings Mill Hospital and Newark. You will manage a caseload of asthma patients, support nurse-led and consultant-led clinics, perform spirometry and FeNO testing, and develop and monitor personalised asthma management plans.
You will also contribute to clinical audit and research, support the leadership of a small team, participate in network meetings, and provide education to medical and nursing colleagues to promote best practice and improve patient care.
Working collaboratively with the wider MDT, including safeguarding teams and colleagues at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, you will provide specialist assessment, advice, support and education to help children and young people manage their conditions effectively.
If you are passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people and thrive in a collaborative, specialist environment, we would love to hear from you. Apply now and make a real difference to the lives of children and their families.
