Children's Community Nurse for Transition
Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
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.
Due to service expansion and a future move to a 7 day working pattern, we are excited to have a Band 6 Children's Community Nurse for Transition vacancy available. This role is county wide and focuses on supporting the coordination of the transition of children and young people from the Children's Community Nursing Services into adult services, while also managing complex discharges from acute care into the community setting.
This is a permanent contract for 37.5 hours, currently divided over 4 days per week, to meet service needs. The role includes weekend and bank holiday working and occasional on-call requirements for End of Life care.
Main duties of the job
You will have current experience in looking after acutely unwell children. You must be highly motivated, possess excellent acute clinical assessment skills, and be able to communicate and organize effectively. We require your skills and enthusiasm to develop our strategy for supporting unnecessary hospital admissions and reducing 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 provided.
About us
