An exciting opportunity has arisen for a nursing associate to join our children’s community complex care team. The ideal candidate will be a qualified and registered nurse associate with experience of nursing children with complex medical needs providing care for care packages alongside non-invasive ventilation and support of complex needs children. However an induction and competency based training will be provided. This will be one of the three nurse associate positions within the team and therefore you will be involved in the development of this role within the service. We are looking for a nurse associate who is hard working, reliable, trustworthy, conscientious, caring and will embrace the challenge of caring for children within the family home. You must be flexible and able to work office hours and support and cover shifts over 7 days a week, 24 hours a day within homes.

Therefore you may on occasions also provide care in school or in other community locations. As this is a community citywide post, you must possess a driving license and have access to a vehicle.
