Should we receive a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close this vacancy at any point after 30‑12‑2025. As an effective member of the 0‑19 team, with a focus on 0‑5 years, the community nursery nurse will support with delivery of the healthy child programme to a defined population. Using an evidence‑based and needs‑led service, the post holder will offer packages of care in a variety of community settings, which include child health clinic, home, early years settings and children’s centres.

Rated "Outstanding" by the Care Quality Commission, we are proud to provide high quality innovative services across most of the east of England that enable people to receive care closer to home and live healthier lives.

There’s one reason why our services are outstanding – and that’s our amazing staff who, for the seventh year running, rated us incredibly highly in the national staff survey.

If you share our passion for innovative and high‑quality care delivery, then please submit your application and join us on our exciting journey as a leading‑edge specialist community provider. All are welcome to apply and our promise to you is a culture which prioritises staff engagement and development.

Responsibilities

• Assist in the delivery and planning of programmes/activities either with individual parents/carers or groups of parents/carers which aim to strengthen their attachment and knowledge to improve outcomes for children.
• Assist in the planning and delivery of programmes and activities to meet the service specific targets identified, such as breastfeeding promotion, smoking cessation, obesity/healthy eating, parenting programmes, speech and language, family health promotion activities, school readiness, and developmental assessments.
• Work in partnership with parents/carers, families and multi‑disciplinary colleagues to maximise service delivery and to maintain effective relationships and communication.
• Support families in accessing advice and guidance regarding childcare and child‑related information.
• Support by information sharing as required for Child Protection case conferences and core group meetings adhering to the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board Policies and Procedures.
• Safely maintain confidential, professional records which are accurate, relevant, up to date and legible (e.g. Child Protection/Early Help Assessment).
• Provide direct support and guidance to identified families in their homes or community locations and promote their health and wellbeing.
• Work collaboratively with the Health Visitor and partner agencies (e.g. Flying Start Children’s Centre) to provide a safe and effective service to children and their families.

On April 1st 2025, the Boards of Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust and Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust will come together to deliver services as a group, with a singular board operating across both organisations. Both trusts are high‑performing specialist community health and care providers working in the East of England. Both have a strong track record, with the highest ratings from the Care Quality Commission, best‑in‑class NHS staff survey outcomes, and a decade of experience in innovation and clinical development.

The group model provides health and care services to a population of 3.2 million in their homes and neighbourhoods. We provide care that supports people from the very beginning to the very end of their lives.

We will remain two separate employers until further notice and the specific role being advertised will be employed by Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust.
