The iCCN team provides specialist nursing care, support, and co-ordination of care to children and young people with complex health care needs and disabilities. These may include those with life-limiting/life-threatening conditions, chronic illnesses, palliative care needs, end-of-life care needs, and short-term acute care needs including urgent care pathways.
Due to exciting developmental opportunities, we are seeking highly skilled, enthusiastic, and forward-thinking Senior Community Children's Nurses for our integrated Community Children's Nursing (iCCN) team.
Our established, passionate, and dedicated iCCN team works collaboratively with children, young people, families, and the wider multi-disciplinary team to ensure care is provided as close to home as possible. We provide high quality and holistic, family-centred care to children and young people (CYP) with a range of nursing needs.
As a Senior CCN, you will have the opportunity to shape and lead our responsive service as it continually adapts to the ever-changing needs of the families. You will play a key role in leading care plans, training, and multi-disciplinary liaison for CYP with a range of needs within their home, school, and wider community.
Main duties of the job
1. The iCCN service aims to provide a high-quality in-reach and outreach nursing service which enables early, safe planned discharge from hospital and prevents unnecessary admissions.
2. Manage a caseload. Provide specialised, high-quality skilled nursing care, considering the physical, psychological, spiritual, and social needs of the child with nursing care needs. This will include those with complex health care needs, palliative care needs, life-limiting illnesses, and children dependent on technology (and those requiring short-term support). This requires developing, implementing, and evaluating individualised programmes of care.
3. Support the management of the integrated acute and community care pathways for children with short-term conditions.
4. Provide supervision and monitoring of junior staff with the support of the team leader.
5. Work with families to provide emotional support and specialist clinical care, sensitive to the changing and ongoing needs of the child, siblings, parents, and other carers.
6. Teach families/carers to carry out specific complex nursing care and procedures which enable them to feel confident and competent in caring for the child.
