We are currently seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Band 5 Children's registered nurse to join the Children's Community Nursing Service across Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland. This is an exciting opportunity to work within the well-established team. The Children's Community Nursing Service is an integrated paediatric service providing care for children within a community setting.

The successful candidate must be able to work flexibly between the hours of 8 am and 6 pm, Monday to Friday.
Main duties of the job
The role involves teaching parents/carers/children/young people, and other health professionals as required and supporting pre and post-registered nursing students.
This role requires an experienced clinician with team working and communication skills, who can deliver effective evidence-based care to a defined demographic population with diverse health care and social needs.
