We are currently seeking a passionate and highly experienced nurse with a strong background in managing safeguarding cases or situations. The ideal candidate will have some acute hospital experience or possess transferable skills that will contribute to our dedicated team's safeguarding agenda.
This role enables the successful candidate to develop their clinical expertise relating to safeguarding children and young people. You will gain experience within the role by covering all of our 5 sites. You will cover many different specialties, including our trauma services, our specialist eye hospital, 2 accident and emergency departments, 3 urgent care centres, sexual health services, and our inpatient paediatric services such as general medicine, paediatric intensive care, and specialist haematology and infectious disease services plus many more.
As part of the day-to-day role, we will triage all children under 18 attendances to unscheduled care, liaise and share information with external agencies, e.g. health visitors, school nurses, social workers, integrated gang unit workers, and Redthread, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the children.
The team works a 7-day service between the hours of 9-5, so weekend working would be part of the hours for the role.
Interviews will be held on the 4th April 2025.
We conduct training, deliver safeguarding supervision, attend and coordinate strategy meetings, and participate in case conferences and other types of professional meetings. Paediatric liaison is also a part of the role; therefore, we also share essential information with community healthcare services and are involved with multi-agency meetings.
There are various aspects to the role, and we require flexible staff with enthusiasm about safeguarding to help us work closely and creatively with the frontline clinical staff. This is to support them in safeguarding children, young people, and unborns by providing expert advice and managing safeguarding cases.
We are an integrated team that comprises adult and midwifery safeguarding specialists, as well as working closely with learning disability staff, Redthread, and a dedicated administrative team. Staff working in the role will increase their knowledge in various aspects of safeguarding, and as a team, we are ready to look at new ideas. The concept of Think Family, Contextual Safeguarding, adverse childhood experiences, and trauma-focused care is embedded within the safeguarding team, and we are strengthening frontline clinical staff’s knowledge and response around these areas.
