Successful candidates will be able to deliver appropriately delegated commissioned elements of the Healthy Child Programme, have experience in or have ambition to work in multi-disciplinary and multi-agency settings. You will be able to participate in child health screening, health promotion activities and supporting parenting in a variety of environments. Your role will include identifying health needs with children and families and in agreement with the SCPHN across the 0-19 pathway, and you will plan, deliver and review appropriate and evidence based interventions to improve outcomes for children and families.

If you have a current NMC registration in any branch of nursing, are passionate about the public health agenda and improving health outcomes for children, young people and families; this may be the career choice for you!

Feedback from our current staff nurses include:

“The regular group supervision sessions provided valuable support in discussing and sharing any problems that have occurred in practice. I felt it was also valuable to share my own knowledge as a more experienced band 5 team member. I feel as new members of staff join, the now experienced band 5s can then support the new starters."
