This position presents a remarkable opportunity for Pediatric Nurses eager to enhance their expertise and nursing capabilities in a community environment as an independent practitioner.

You will play a vital role in transformative service initiatives aimed at improving community nursing services. Collaboration with children and their families facing acute and chronic health challenges will be a key aspect of your work, alongside your multidisciplinary team (MDT) colleagues.

Key Responsibilities

The Lead Community Pediatric Nurse is tasked with delivering specialized, proficient nursing care to children and young individuals with diverse healthcare needs, including short-term acute care, long-term health issues, complex conditions, and palliative care, while continuously assessing care requirements.

Our goal is to facilitate timely discharges and avert unnecessary hospital readmissions for children with either acute or chronic health conditions. This is achieved through specialized support and clinical expertise to assist in the assessment, treatment, and care planning, provided by an autonomous practitioner. The role will also involve acting as a resource for pediatric expertise, offering specialized guidance to other professionals and promoting evidence-based practices.

Care will be administered in various settings, including homes, schools, and other community environments, with the expectation that the post holder will develop, implement, and evaluate specialized nursing care programs. Collaboration with partners across NHS organizations, including primary care networks, to enhance an integrated pediatric nursing service will also be part of your responsibilities.

Working with Lancashire Teaching Hospitals

Our organization comprises a dedicated workforce committed to delivering exceptional services to our patients. Regardless of your role, you contribute to the care of numerous individuals in our local area and provide specialized services to a broader population.

Being part of our team offers you the opportunity to gain knowledge and pride in the fact that your contributions genuinely make a difference in supporting our patients and staff, ensuring we continue to thrive and provide outstanding healthcare across our communities.

You will have access to diverse development opportunities, learn new skills, meet wonderful colleagues, and engage in experiences that enhance your career trajectory.

You will have the chance to make a significant impact, be encouraged to think innovatively, and help drive improvements. Every action we take centers around patient care and enhancing their experience, making your role essential and something to take pride in.

Detailed Responsibilities

The Community Pediatric Nursing Team is dedicated to delivering a high-quality in-reach and outreach nursing service that ensures safe discharges from hospitals and prevents avoidable admissions.

The team maintains strong connections with colleagues in our Specialist Nursing teams, addressing various long-term health conditions such as Endocrine and Diabetes, Respiratory, Allergy, Neuromuscular, Bladder and Bowel, Complex Needs, Palliative Care, and Epilepsy.

Close collaboration with acute pediatric clinical areas and community and neuro-developmental pediatric teams is also a key aspect of our work.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Playing a crucial role in multi-faceted care delivery processes and enhancing partnership working to ensure a seamless patient journey.
  • Regularly developing, implementing, and evaluating individualized care programs.
