Join us and be a part of a team that is making a difference in children's lives through innovative community healthcare.
We are seeking a dynamic, forward-thinking, and resilient children’s community nurse to join our team. Ideally, you will have experience working as an autonomous practitioner within acute, community or primary care settings. This role requires excellent organisational, time management and communication skills.
This is an exciting opportunity to deliver a population-based approach to healthcare while working within a well-supported and friendly team. You will have the chance to contribute to ongoing service development and the integration of care into the wider children’s community nursing service.
As an autonomous practitioner, you will provide high-quality specialist nursing care, education and training to children and young people in various settings, including homes, schools, nurseries and the community.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Facilitating early discharge and reducing hospital length of stay.
• Preventing hospital admissions by delivering proactive care in the community.
• Providing clinical supervision to staff and students.
• Engaging in research and leading clinical audits within your specialist area.
You will work collaboratively across the children’s community nursing service, ensuring the safety and well-being of service users. At all times, you will promote dignity and human rights by adopting person-centered care principles.
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust comprises five of the UK’s best known hospitals – Guy’s, St Thomas’, Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Royal Brompton and Harefield – as well as community services in Lambeth and Southwark, all with a long history of high quality care, clinical excellence, research and innovation.
At Evelina, we are reminded every day of how important life is, and how important it is to look after the health and wellbeing of our staff as they balance of responsibilities in and out of work.
We have around 22,700 staff, making us one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country and one of the biggest employers locally. We aim to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve and continue to develop new and existing partnerships with local people, patients, neighbouring NHS organisations, local authorities and charitable bodies and GPs.
We are committed to supporting flexible working; we want to support you to work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that’s job share, part time or another flexible pattern. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
The post holder will be responsible for the assessment, planning and delivery of specialist nursing care, as well as providing expert nursing advice. You will also carry out specialised nursing procedures, ensuring high-quality care across various settings.
