At Thornbury Community Services, we believe every child deserves the chance to live life to the fullest. We’re looking for nurses who want to make a real difference – helping young people stay safe, achieve their goals, discover new hobbies, and enjoy experiences that matter most to them.

You will work night shifts 1:1, providing reassurance and respite for a teenage male and their family. You should be committed and reliable with lots of experience/knowledge of complex epilepsy. You must be comfortable working with dogs in the home and a driving license is recommended due to remote location.

If you're looking for consecutive shifts & block bookings with this client and potentially other clients in surrounding areas, we want to hear from you!

• Experienced in UK complex care (minimum 6 months in the last 2 years).
