Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our dynamic Paediatric Specialist Nursing Team at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We are seeking a passionate and forward-thinking nurse to join us as part of our evolving Epilepsy Team.
This role is pivotal in supporting the development of a first seizure pathway within our newly established Clinical Decisions Centre, working closely with a Paediatric Consultant and a Epilepsy Specialist Nurse. You will play a key role in shaping the future of epilepsy care for children and young people across our Trust.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.
We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
