Job Title: Specialist Nurse for Children and Young People in Care

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated nurse to join our team as a Specialist Nurse for Children and Young People in Care. The successful candidate will have good knowledge and understanding of the management of childhood diabetes and be committed to working with and supporting children, young people, and their families.

Key Responsibilities:
  1. Using clinical judgment and autonomous decision making about the specialist nursing care and management of children and young people with diabetes.
  2. Providing leadership and direct line-management for a small team of staff supporting them to care for a caseload of children and young people.
  3. Facilitating teamwork across the multidisciplinary team to deliver a high standard diabetes service to children, adolescents, families, and carers.
  4. Participating in a regular review of the responsibilities of the multidisciplinary team as a service provider, examining the structure and processes against all criteria identified in the Best Practice Tariff, National Paediatric Diabetes Audit, and Peer review.

The candidate will work cross-site within East Kent and will participate pro-rata in the Out of Hours telephone on-call service for children, young people, and their families ensuring they have access to specialist diabetes advice.

You will mainly work within the hospital setting, but the role may entail time within the home and the community; enhancing established links with schools and other community groups and forging new ones. Dedicated children's diabetes clinics are established in five localities within the Trust, whilst inpatient care following diagnosis is provided by the two busy children's wards on two main sites in Margate and Ashford.

We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 800,000 people. Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. We're looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families, and carers we care for every day.
