Summary
We are seeking an outstanding Special School Nursing Team Lead to join our well-established Special School Nursing Service. At HHFT we provide a specialist school nursing service to six special schools within the HHFT footprint. We are looking for a dynamic team lead who can work in partnership with the Child Health Lead for Integrated Community Services.
You will also have the opportunity to work closely with our well-established integrated Community Children’s Nursing Team, colleagues at Firvale- our respite service and the wider child health multi-disciplinary team.
We will offer you clinical supervision, regular appraisal, training and support in achieving your personal development plan as well as peer support from colleagues in similar roles. You will be taking an important role within the delivery of integrated children’s acute and community services. Child Health offers excellent development opportunities and a range of expertise for advice and support in your role.
If you are innovative, creative and keen to develop your knowledge and new ways of working then consider this opportunity.
Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.
Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.
We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.
The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
Your skills will include nutritional management via gastrostomy, epilepsy care, medicines management, excellence in communication with children with learning disability and a sound understanding of the safeguarding agenda. You will be able to teach others in practice and be an advocate for the child. You will also provide support and assist with the professional development, to support the existing members of the special school nursing team and offer day to day leadership across the special school nursing service.
