Job overview

We are looking for a Band 6 paediatric nurse to work within our 7F Children’s wards at The Royal London Hospital.

This area looks after the sickest patients in the children’s hospital and acts as an intermediary between the wards and the Paediatric Critical Care Unit. Across 7F, emphasis is placed on multi-disciplinary working to ensure holistic care of the highest quality.

They will be keen to learn and develop new skills and knowledge through the availability of a variety of training opportunities, including university modules such as the HDU course, Evidence-Based Orthopaedic Care, paediatric trauma study days, and APLS.

The post holder will support the ward manager in developing services, managing the day-to-day running of the ward, and supervising staff.

Barts Health has a busy and demanding children’s service requiring staff to be flexible. The post involves working in a challenging clinical environment, including shift work, nights, weekends, and bank holidays.
