Summary
We are looking for an experienced qualified paediatric nurse to join our welcoming, dynamic, and supportive Children’s Continuing Care and Assessment Team enabling children with complex physical health needs to live well in the community.
We support children with complex physical health needs in their homes, by completing Health Needs Assessments under Continuing Care criteria. We also support their ongoing medical device and consumable supply, training, advocating, and supporting the child or young person and their family.
As part of the Children’s Complex Needs Nursing Service, we work closely with the wider children’s nursing teams in LSCFT, and with the wider MDT supporting the child or young person’s individual needs.
The team covers East Lancashire, Blackburn with Darwen, Preston and West Lancashire. This post will be based in either the Burnley or Preston office but travel across this area will be essential to this post on a regular basis.
You will be NMC registered and have post qualification children’s nursing experience including working with children with complex health needs in a multi-agency context. You will possess excellent clinical and communication skills and have knowledge and experience of children’s complex needs nursing and the technology and equipment used by these children. You will have great organisational skills and be able to work independently accessing supervision as required. You will be highly motivated and dedicated to evidence-based practice.
You will be responsible for supporting children and young people with diverse physical health needs, undertaking assessments of children and young people to establish individualised management and treatment plans and determine appropriate interventions and goals. You will have the appropriate clinical skills and experience to be able to support in training at home, in schools and in nurseries if a need is identified.
LSCFT values diversity and inclusion, recognising that talent from varied backgrounds creates a flexible, creative, and effective workforce. We actively challenge discrimination and welcome applications from all, regardless of age, disability (including those with experience of accessing or caring for someone who has accessed mental health or learning disability services), ethnicity, gender, religion, belief, or sexual orientation.
Our aim is to reflect the communities we serve, so we particularly encourage applications from under-represented groups. If you’d like to discuss your application, please ask.
We also welcome individuals with lived experience relevant to the role or service area, as your insight brings authenticity to our services.
