Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated, experienced paediatric nurse to join our Specialist Nursing Team!
Be an integral part of a team providing care for children/young people with epilepsy. You will manage a caseload of children/young people and liaise regularly with Consultants, Health visitors, School Nurses, GP’s, tertiary centres etc to enable children/young people to manage their condition.
You should have a good understanding of the management of epilepsy and the impact of the condition of the child/young person/family, be able to coordinate care and access to community resources (e.g nursery / school / out of school activities) as required. The Specialist Nursing roles require individuals to develop expertise in the speciality, be able to teach and support staff in the clinical areas, undertake research and audit as required and consider how to gain patient feedback to review and improve services. You should be an effective communicator, motivated and self-directed and willing to continue to develop professionally. Opportunities will be available to training.
St George’s, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group cares for a population of four million people in South West London and North East Surrey. Our sites include St George’s Hospital, one of 11 major trauma centres in the UK and the largest healthcare provider and major teaching hospital in the area; St Helier Hospital, home to the South West Thames Renal and Transplantation Unit and Queen Mary's Hospital for Children; and Epsom Hospital, home to the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC).
After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000-strong workforce.
