Childrens Nurse

Children’s Nurse Opportunity – Hertfordshire

Paediatric 1:1 Night Care Consistency, Compassion & Continuity

Are you a Registered Children’s Nurse looking for a role where you can practise true paediatric nursing — without the time pressures of the ward?

We are offering a rare and rewarding opportunity for a Children’s Nurse to deliver dedicated 1:1 night‑time care to a young child with complex health needs, supported in the comfort and safety of her family home.

This role is ideal for nurses who value child‑centred, family‑focused care
, and who want the time and autonomy to deliver nursing the way it should be done.

You will be caring for a non‑verbal young girl with an acquired brain injury, who communicates through expressions, sounds, and movement. She has a warm and engaging personality and responds best to playful, calm, and emotionally attuned Children’s Nurses
.

As her dedicated night nurse, you’ll develop a deep understanding of her cues, routines, and needs. Over time, you’ll form a trusted therapeutic relationship with both the child and her family, becoming a consistent and reassuring presence in their lives.

This is a hands‑on, clinical paediatric nursing role
, focused on one child — not multiple patients. Although delivered in the home, it requires specialist children’s nursing skills
, clinical judgement, and an excellent understanding of complex paediatric care.

• Administering continuous feeds and medications via PEGJ (jejunal route)
• Supporting a child with Dystonia
• Night‑time clinical monitoring and observations
• Paediatric moving and handling
• Working collaboratively with parents and the wider MDT

This role allows you to slow down, observe, and truly respond to the child’s needs.

Night shifts available:
Monday – Sunday | 20:00 – 08:00

Once your induction is complete, you’ll move onto a consistent and predictable rota
.

, delivered alongside the family and established care team. This ensures you are fully confident in the child’s care before working independently.
