You will be supported by a skill mix team of school nursing professionals to deliver the ‘Healthy Child Programme From 5-19 years old (DOH 2009)’. The post holder will work in partnership with professionals from multiple agencies to meet the health needs of this specific population of children and young people, together with their families and the wider community where this is relevant.

You will be responsible for the coordination of the health needs of any Camden children who are under a Child Protection plan who are not currently attending a Local Authority maintained school.

The nurse we are recruiting will have sufficient post registration experience in a children’s/paediatric setting to allow effective multi agency working in settings like the H3 Federation schools and Robson House.

The person will be experienced at working with diverse communities, and of working with children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Experience of supporting children with complex needs such as child protection and mental/emotional health issues is also essential.
