Responsibilities

Our CYPCC Nurses undertake evidence based, holistic needs assessments following the National Framework for Children and Young People's Continuing Care. The assessment process is a collaborative approach with the child and family at the centre, and extensive input from multi‑agency professionals. Utilizing specialist nursing knowledge you will signpost to commissioned NHS services, identify gaps in health care provision, develop and commission comprehensive needs‑led packages of care in partnership with the child/young person, their family, and professionals across health, social care and education. The post holders will provide specialist health advice and contribute to complex case management alongside colleagues in health, social care, and education. You will take an active role in the Education, Health and Care planning (EHPC) process; Care, Education and Treatments Reviews (CETRs) and multi‑agency meetings with local authority Children with Disabilities Services. You will work under the guidance of our clinical Team Leaders and CYPCC Strategic, Operational, and Quality Lead, with access to regular clinical and safeguarding supervision, and opportunities for training and development. We support flexible working, with staff wellbeing and development of paramount importance. We encourage collaboration between our place teams with regular team meetings and informal weekly wellbeing catch‑ups.
