Good communication and positive working relationships with school staff and the leadership team are essential parts of this role.
We encourage applications from children's or learning disability nurses who have experience or a strong interest in working with children with additional needs.

We believe that the best health care is delivered by multi-disciplinary teams working well together and in partnership with other teams and services to provide seamless care. Special School nurses work as part of a team and you will contribute to the success of the team by being an effective role model to healthcare assistants/ support workers/school staff and students to ensure they are working to the standards which the people using our services deserve.
