Descrizione del lavoro

Three nights a week, 10pm to 8am. One child, at home. Drivers only.
There is a four-year-old in Lusk who is at home tonight rather than on a hospital ward. That is only possible because a nurse is with them overnight, and we need one more.
This is one-to-one nursing in a family home. You would care for the same child on every shift, know their baseline, recognise a difficult night before it arrives, and give their parents the one thing a ward never can: a full night’s sleep under their own roof.
The hours

• Nights, 10pm to 8am, three a week
• A two-week rotation: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday one week, then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the next
• 30 hours a week, never a weekend, and four days off in every seven

Why this role is worth a look

• One patient, not a ward. Time to do the job the way you were trained to do it
• No bleeps, no bed management, nobody pulling you to another bay at 3am
• Every nurse gets full training in tracheostomy care, epilepsy and PEG feeding.
• Continuity. You will know this child and this family properly, for as long as you want the case
• A Clinical Nurse Manager at the end of the phone on every shift

You do not need a paediatric qualification
Experience of caring for children is essential. A paediatric registration is not. If you are an RGN or RNID with solid paediatric experience, in hospital or in the community, we want to hear from you.

Requirements

• RGN, RCN or RNID with active NMBI
• Experience of paediatric care
• Comfortable working alone in a family home overnight
• A full driving licence and your own transport are essential. The home is not reachable by public transport at night

What we offer

• Full clinical training and a paid induction before your first shift [TO CONFIRM: induction is paid]
• Ongoing support and supervision from the paediatric nursing team
