Job overview
Rainbow Ward is seeking proactive, enthusiastic Band 5 nurses to join the WWL family on our friendly Children’s Ward. The ward has benefited from recent investment to create a sensory zone and a Teen Zone area, providing age appropriate spaces for our patients, day to day.
Rainbow ward is a 34 bedded integrated paediatric unit, including a 2 bedded HDU, caring for children aged 0 – 16 years with medical and surgical needs, giving staff who work on the ward a diverse range of patients to work with – no two days are ever the same!
We are looking to recruit to a 24 hour post, with a working pattern across 7 days (internal rotation).
Main duties of the job
In exchange for your hard work and dedication we offer a comprehensive preceptorship package, including medicines management training (including intravenous medications) and two mandatory paediatric study days in a rolling twelve month period. Further development opportunities exist with the chance to mentor students from UCLAN and Edgehill as they pursue their own career as a student nurse or nurse associate.
Each member of Band 5 nurses is encouraged to pursue an area of specialist interest.
Nurses will also have the opportunity to complete APLS training, subject to having completed two years post qualification training.
