Clinical Practice & Direct Care: Deliver health assessments, targeted interventions, immunisations, enuresis clinics, continence assessments, and sexual health services. Identify unmet health needs, provide referrals, and maintain safeguarding responsibilities in line with local procedures.
Health Promotion & Education: Plan, deliver, and evaluate health promotion activities through PSHE lessons, group work, and one-to-one sessions. Facilitate drop-in clinics and contribute to service initiatives.
Safeguarding & Risk Management: Act promptly in suspected abuse cases, attend child protection meetings, and participate in safeguarding supervision. Ensure record-keeping and reporting adhere to clinical standards.
