Our dedicated children’s hospital hosts a range of specialist paediatric services. This means that you have huge variety in the people you work with, the patients you see and the career pathways on offer to you.

There are plenty of opportunities to grow your career and take the lead as you progress, and we’re committed to supporting all our staff in achieving their personal and professional ambitions.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Please note that this advert is specifically for Newly Qualified Paediatric Nurses with an expected start date between January and March 2027. Most vacancies within this recruitment campaign are based in our Paediatric Intensive Care Services. Therefore, successful applicants should have a genuine interest in caring for children and young people who require highly specialised and intensive levels of care. Enthusiasm for working within a complex paediatric critical care environment would be advantageous. There are a limited number of vacancies in the general wards as well and so this opportunity is also potentially available.
