Nurse – Community Children’s Nursing Team

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 40,000 staff across a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.

The post holder will provide an accessible, appropriate, high-quality, culturally sensitive and effective Specialist Children’s Services (SCS) Disability Nursing service for children and young people aged 0–19 years within the community. Working in partnership with service users, families, care providers and partner agencies, they will support children and young people experiencing disability across the disability pathway. Under the direction of the Clinical Nurse Specialist/Team Lead, the post holder will manage their own caseload, delivering patient-centred care and contributing to the ongoing development of the Specialist Children’s Services Nurse role.

This role does not meet the eligibility criteria for a Skilled Worker visa or a Health and Care Worker visa. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is unable to provide candidates or employees with a Certificate of Sponsorship (COS).
