• Care planning and health assessments
• Medication management and enteral feeding
• Epilepsy management
• Staff training

During school holidays, you will work within the CCN Team, delivering nursing care in homes and the community. Key tasks include:

• Hospital discharge support

As a Band 6 nurse, you will provide clinical leadership, supervise and support colleagues, contribute to service development, and work collaboratively with families, schools, therapists, social care, and medical teams to deliver high‑quality, child‑centred care.

You will work autonomously, managing a caseload of children and young people, and will be involved in delivering clinical interventions, training parents, carers and staff from other agencies, and working with multi‑professional and multi‑agency colleagues to support children to achieve their best outcomes.

We are committed to a respectful and compassionate working environment, with opportunities for professional development.
