We would love to let you know about an opportunity that has just become available for a Registered Nurse to come and work for our forward-thinking and innovative team. As Special Needs Nurses, we are based across 2 sites in Cheshire: Hebden Green Community School in Winsford, and Springfield School in Crewe. Both schools are outstanding educational settings, and all of the staff work very closely with all of the health professionals within the school to ensure we can provide the best possible learning environment for the children.
For the role, you will be working closely with the wonderful children that attend the settings, completing a wide variety of tasks alongside our vastly experienced team members. Both schools are busy environments and regularly provide opportunities to challenge you as a professional.
There is a great support network throughout the whole team. We are keen to help all of our nurses and healthcare assistants to develop both personally and professionally, and so we will make sure there is support from experienced colleagues and the special schools co-ordinator.
If this sounds like the role for you, please feel free to give us a call or send an email to discuss any queries or questions that you may have. If you love working with children and helping to shape their development, then this role is perfect for you!

The Trust, which manages Leighton Hospital in Crewe, Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford, was established as an NHS Trust in April 1991 and became a Foundation Trust in April 2008.

The Trust is also part of Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership (CCICP), a unique local health partnership that provides a range of community services for people across South Cheshire and Vale Royal.
During the Coronavirus pandemic, the Trust was recognised nationally for its 'Be Safe Be EquiPPEd' campaign, which aimed to make the Trust as safe as possible for staff and patients, through supporting the correct use of PPE.
