At the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important life is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that’s job share, part time or another flexible pattern.

Are you an experienced Children's Nurse looking for a new challenge? We are looking to recruit to our Children’s Community Nursing service where you will join an established supportive team here in Cornwall.

We are excited to be in a position to have a Band 6 Children's Community Nurse vacancy available or a developmental opportunity, Band 5 - Band 6.

This is a permanent contract for 28.5 hrs currently divided over 3 days per week working 8am to 6pm, to meet service need. The role will be predominantly based in the East of the county but travel county wide will be required on weekends, triage days and to support staff absence.

This role includes weekend and bank holiday working and on call requirement for End of Life care.

This job is currently only open to people who already work for the NHS in Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly. We are committed to supporting our dedicated staff, so only current employees of the following organisations can apply:

• Cornwall Foundation Trust
• Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust
• Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board

If you do not currently work for one of these NHS organisations, your application will not be considered at this time.

You will have current experience in looking after acutely unwell children. You must be highly motivated and possess excellent acute clinical assessment skills and are able to communicate and organise effectively. You must be experienced in working under pressure and have the ability to work independently.

We require your skills & enthusiasm to develop our strategy in supporting unnecessary hospital admissions and reduce length of stay by facilitating early and safe discharge from the acute trust as well as supporting children and young people with long term or palliative conditions. You will hold your own caseload, taking responsibility for planning, coordinating, delivering and evaluating care given.

This is a community-based role that requires frequent travel to various locations throughout the county including areas that may not be accessible by public transportation. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate how they will manage these travel requirements.
