Job Summary

An amazing opportunity is available for a full-time Clinical Nurse Specialist to join the Community Paediatric Team within Ealing Services for Children with Additional Needs as part of Ealing Community Partners. This role is also suitable for an experienced Health Visitor interested in transitioning into the Clinical Nurse Specialist role.

If you are an experienced Health Visitor, Learning Disability Nurse, or Children's Nurse looking to advance your career in the specialized field of children and young people with complex neuro-developmental disabilities, this position is for you. Do you have a passion for working with parents of children and young people with long-term developmental health conditions? This role aims to expand the existing specialist health visitor roles within the Ealing Child Development Team, transitioning them into Clinical Nurse Specialists with a focus on working closely with Community Paediatricians to provide top-notch, patient-centered care.

The selected candidate will be stationed at Carmelita House, collaborating with Consultant Paediatricians and other health professionals to support children and families. The role also involves responsibilities at various locations across Ealing, requiring the ability to travel around the borough.

Main Duties of the Job

We are searching for a nurse with experience in caring for children and young people with complex developmental needs, capable of delivering high-quality care to children impacted by their disability alongside their families. Responsibilities include conducting clinical assessments, arranging investigations, making referrals, contributing to assessments, providing sleep training and counseling, collaborating with other teams, attending multi-agency meetings, and serving as a resource for parents and colleagues seeking guidance on complex children. The ideal candidate should have prior experience working with children with special needs, possess strong teamwork skills, demonstrate flexibility and innovation in healthcare, work autonomously, and prioritize children's well-being.

Specific training in clinical assessments will be provided as necessary, with opportunities to acquire nurse-prescribing qualifications to cater to the needs of children, particularly within the sleep service.
