Job summary
This is a permanent role with part-time opportunity available (.74 WTE).
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and experienced Children's Nurse to join the Children's Community Nursing Team (CCNT), providing care to children and young people across Redbridge. The service sits within the Children's Directorate and works closely with Children's Community Nursing Services across Barking and Havering.
The post holder will work autonomously in the home setting, demonstrating clinical expertise and a commitment to high-quality, family-centred care. Excellent communication skills, a positive approach to service development, and the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary and multi-agency teams are essential. Ongoing professional development is actively supported. Applicants must hold a full clean UK driving licence and have access to a vehicle.
Our Children's Services operate across Queen's Hospital, Romford, and King George's Hospital, Ilford, providing comprehensive medical and surgical care, including inpatient wards, HDU, CYPAU, day services, POSCU, haematology, outpatient clinics, Clinical Nurse Specialists and CCNT. We also have a 32-cot Level 2 NICU with community and outreach support.
The team is expanding and offers corporate training, leadership programmes and university partnerships to support career development.
Main duties of the job
- Deliver safe, evidence-based nursing care to children and young people in community settings. Assess, plan, implement, and evaluate individualised care plans.
- Manage a caseload of children with complex and long-term health needs.
- Provide specialist interventions including IV therapy, enteral feeding, tracheostomy care, and ventilation support.
- Identify clinical deterioration and escalate concerns appropriately.
- Maintain accurate, timely electronic patient records in line with Trust policy.
About us
We're an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and our patients are happy with.
They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.
We operate from two main sites - KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We're campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care.
We're proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We're also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
We run a Women's Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The majority of our 8,400 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
