Lincolnshire has exciting opportunities for full time and part time Children and Young People's Nurses. If you are a qualified children's or adult nurse, we would like to hear from you. We welcome applications from newly qualified and experienced nurses who have a passion to provide a public health model for children of school age up to 19 years (25SEND).
About the team
The CYPN service is currently undergoing a service review therefore we are seeking to recruit motivated practitioners with initiative and drive who are keen to contribute to the further development of our integrated children’s health service.
The Children and Young People's Nurses work within Lincolnshire County Council very closely with Children's Services (children’s centres, early help and social care) and other agencies to improve outcomes and reduce health inequalities for children, young people and their families in our care. Because we work alongside our Children’s Services colleagues, we can provide a comprehensive package of care to ensure that our children are able to achieve their full potential.
The team is county wide although the job role is based within the Boston & South Holland, North & South Kesteven and East Linsey areas of the county. The team ethos is supportive and caring with a strong restorative focus.
About you
We are looking for practitioners who thrive upon innovation and are not averse to change. It is essential that you are a keen public health advocate who is passionate to provide a public health model to our school age children and their families. The role is varied and includes bowel and bladder work, working with vulnerable children and families, and those with other support needs.
You will need to have the ability to work autonomously and as part of an integrated skill mix team. You need to have excellent communication skills and experience of working in partnership across organisational boundaries.
Our offer to you
We can offer you opportunities for personal and professional development. The Children's Health team has a strong champion role structure which helps support the service and development of staff by encouraging involvement of Children and Young People's Nurses in their area of interest.
In Children’s Health we support new areas of practice such as development of support and advice within education on key target areas. At Lincolnshire County Council we strongly believe in supporting our Children and Young People’s Nurses and provide regular clinical and safeguarding supervision. We also pay NMC annual fees. For newly qualified practitioners, we have a preceptorship programme in place to aid your development.
We are offering a competitive salary of £33,024 - £36,648 along with a pension, comprehensive benefits package including excellent discount schemes and many areas for professional support and development.
