Job description

Paediatric Complex Care Nurse — South County Dublin

Days or nights, full-time or part-time. €24.15 to €32.00 per hour.

Across South County Dublin there are children with complex care needs who are at home with their families rather than on a hospital ward. That is only possible because a nurse is with them, and we need more nurses.

This is one-to-one nursing in a family home. We match you to a child near where you live, and you stay with that child. You know their baseline, you recognise a bad day before it arrives, and their parents trust you enough to leave the room.

Where we need you

• Shankill


• Clondalkin


• And across South County Dublin. We match you to a child close to where you live

Hours

• Day shifts and night shifts


• Full-time or part-time


• Flexibility available. Tell us what you can work and we build the rota around it

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


• Every nurse gets full training in tracheostomy care, epilepsy and PEG feeding.


• A case close to home, so the commute is short


• Continuity. The same child and the same family.


• 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 registration


• Experience of paediatric care


• Comfortable working alone in a family home, by day or overnight


• A full driving licence widens the cases we can offer you, and is essential for some

What we offer

• €24.15 to €32.00 per hour


• Full-time or part-time


• Full clinical training and induction before your first shift


• Ongoing support and supervision from the paediatric nursing team
