This is a new position and we are really looking forward to welcoming suitable candidates to this role.
As we know you will appreciate - our ED is always open - providing care for children 24 hour a day, 365 days a year.

Your previous care experience will be what sets you apart from the rest and will have given you all the skills you need to build upon in this role.
You will be responsible for providing a range of personalised care for patients and families and a range of clinical duties under the guidance and supervision of the team leader/nurse in charge.
You will support the productive operation of the ward environment by undertaking a range of non -clinical activities which contribute to the maintenance of a safe and clean environment.
Acting at all times in a manner that upholds the Trust values, you will work as part of the ward team to ensure that patients and relatives receive excellent care with compassion.
About us

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.
You'll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you'd never have done. You'll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path.
You'll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care and enhancing their experience which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
