This post is offered as a part-time position (22.5hrs/wk), however additional hours could also be offered working within the Children’s acute ward (Caroline Thorpe Ward), for additional hours if this is desired by the candidate.
The CCN team is responsible for providing generic nursing care to children with short and long-term conditions within their own homes and wider community, therefore the post-holder should have a thorough understanding in safeguarding and a broad range of clinical knowledge and skills in Paediatric Nursing as well as C&YP epilepsy nursing speciality too, who can work autonomously in role.

You will need to work in partnership with all levels of Health Care professionals and NHS providers of services as well as with other statutory and voluntary agencies. Although this is currently a 9-5pm Mon-Fri service, the appointed person would be expected to work flexibly around these times during the week to meet the health care needs of patient’s.
