Community Children's Nurse

Job overview

Are you a passionate Children's Nurse looking to make a real difference to children and families in their own communities?

We are looking for a compassionate, motivated Registered Children's Nurse to join our Children's Community Nursing Team, supporting children and young people with a wide range of health needs, helping them receive high-quality care closer to home and reduce hospital admissions and attendances.

Working across the London Boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Westminster, you will provide clinical care, education and support to children, young people and their families, and play an important role in supporting student nurses and contributing to a positive learning environment.

Our multidisciplinary team works closely with colleagues across primary care, acute hospitals, social care and education to deliver coordinated, child-centred care for children and young people aged 0–18 years.

We offer a supportive environment with excellent learning and development opportunities, a comprehensive education programme, and regular clinical and safeguarding supervision.

As an added bonus, you will also rotate into our Special School Nursing Team when required, gaining valuable experience with children with complex health needs within an education setting — a great way to broaden your clinical skillset.

We welcome applications from nurses enthusiastic about providing great care, working collaboratively, and practising autonomously.

• Deliver safe, effective and child-centred nursing care to children and young people with a range of health needs.

• Provide teaching, training and support to families, carers and education staff where required.

• Support the learning and development of student nurses and other colleagues.
