**Qualification requirements**: Applicants for this role must be a Registered Nursing Associate and have experience of working with sick children. You will be based at our Wiltshire Hospice, but will also work across Wiltshire in the homes of the children we look after.

You will work with a team of Carers, Nurses, Team Nurses, Senior Team Nurses and Lead Nurses in a supportive environment. As a Nursing Associate you will be responsible for assisting in the delivery of high quality clinical nursing care to meet the diverse individual needs of the children and young people. You will have experience in nursing assessment, planning and delivering care which will be evidence based in conjunction with Julia’s House policies and procedures to support delivery of safe care to children and young people with complex needs that will often change.

If you are passionate about hands on holistic family centred care and are considering a career in a children’s hospice, we will support you by offering opportunities to develop both clinically and professionally. You will have opportunities to broaden your skills with excellent training and development.

Flexibility is required to cover days, evenings, weekends, school holidays and occasional overnights. There are no set hours for contracted staff, our care is provided at the times requested by our families and is therefore variable. Rotas are prepared 6 weeks in advance.

Julia’s House is an award-winning children’s hospice charity dedicated to bringing comfort and care to families across the two counties.

Each family we support is unique and so is the care we provide. When a family finds out that their child has a very serious medical condition, which is life-limiting or life-threatening, their world falls apart. Julia’s House exists to help these children and their families.
