Summary
Designed by families, for families, our client was opened in September 2019 by the Mayor of London. The grounds offer wheelchair accessible outdoor experiences, including a Woodland Walk through a 7-acre nature reserve, a hydrotherapy pool and overnight suites for families to be close to their loved ones. They are able to provide Specialist Care and Nursing for babies, children and young people, supporting their full clinical, emotional, social and practical needs. We have created a space where children who are seriously unwell are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.
Rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, the charity has had a sustained period of growth over the last two years 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. We carefully adapt our support for every child and offer it wherever it is required - whether in their home, their community or at our state-of-the-art children’s hospice building in Barnet.

As part of our Specialist Care Team, you will care for children who are staying with us and those visiting us for day care. Providing families with choice is central to its' care model, so you will also support children in their family homes and in community-settings.

You will be an experienced or senior Band 6 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.
