Senior Paediatric Palliative Care Nurse - Band 6
£40,701- £48,054 (AFC) pro rata plus unsocial hours supplements
Are you looking to provide holistic, family-centred, quality care? Are you an RNC or RNA/RNLD with paediatric experience looking to work on a one to one care basis and build your experience in palliative and end of life care?
This is a wonderful opportunity to work in partnership with hospitals and community nursing teams to deliver care to a range of children and young people with a variety of complex health conditions. As well as providing clinical care, you will also develop play and recreational activities to provide appropriate stimulation to the children in your care. You will be supported in your learning and development and there is the potential to gain experience in outreach work.
As a Senior Nurse you will be a team leader to a small group of nurses and HCAs (Play and Care Workers), taking responsibility for line management. You will lead your team in acting as key workers to a small caseload of service users and act in a link role allocated to the team, for example Infection Control or Clinical Audits. You will be managing shifts, providing leadership to the team to ensure that all care is delivered in accordance with the policies and procedures.
We’re looking for someone who is empathetic and resilient, can work under pressure, and can communicate sensitively with families and colleagues. Experience managing junior nurses and leading shifts is essential. It would also be great if you have a mentorship qualification and experience dealing with children with challenging behaviour.
Our Client operates a vital 24/7 service. Shifts are across weekdays and weekends. They require applicants to be available to work weekday shifts as well as weeknights, weekends and bank holidays.
