Paediatric Registered Nurses
East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust
The closing date is 02 October 2024
Job summary
We are seeking enthusiastic, caring and motivated individuals to join our team of Registered Nurses to provide dynamic, high-quality family centred nursing care to Children, Young People and Babies.
Do you love the buzz of working in a SSPAU where you work as part of a well co-ordinated medical and nursing team, providing high impact interventions from the minute the children arrive so that they can be treated and discharged on the same day. Do you get a thrill from seeing a very sick child arrive on the ward and a few hours later they are sitting up eating and chattering? And do you also love caring for children having day case surgery?
Or do you prefer caring for the children who have to stay overnight or for several nights because they need more complex care for most general medical and surgical conditions eg respiratory, diabetes, oncology, CAMHS and neurology and level 1 critical care as needed. Children requiring more intensive care are transferred to our tertiary centres for their immediate treatment and then repatriated to us for on-going care until ready for discharge.
Whatever your preference, we would love to hear from you. Whether you are a paediatric registered nurse who is newly registered or you are a Paediatric nurse brimming with experience .
At ESHT we believe our workforce is our greatest asset and we endeavour to provide a comprehensive preceptorship programme to support each individual in feeling valued and motivated within their role.
