You will work closely with experienced senior nurses and the wider multidisciplinary team, with the opportunity to develop your clinical knowledge, skills and confidence through a structured preceptorship (for newly qualified nurses) and ongoing professional development.

Communicate effectively and compassionately with children and young people, adapting your communication to their age, developmental needs and individual circumstances.

We are looking for candidates who are caring, adaptable, team-focused and committed to delivering an excellent experience for children and their families.
