Paediatric Staff Nurse

·
Full time
Paediatric Staff Nurse wanted for our Paediatric High Dependency Unit to work weekdays, weekends, bank holidays and nights to meet the needs of the service. We're looking for a keen enthusiastic nurse to join our busy Paediatric High Dependency unit. The post would be suitable for someone with a minimum of 18 months post registration experience. We are currently the only stand-alone PHDU in the region.

Paediatric High Dependency is a 4 bedded unit which cares for children from 0-16 years requiring level 2 critical care.

We offer a variety of experience and look after a range of specialties covering paediatric medicine and surgery and are well developed in our non-invasive ventilation support.

Main duties of the job We work closely with the other Paediatric wards, the multidisciplinary team and with tertiary hospitals in the region to ensure children receive a high standard of care and effective treatment close to home.

A positive and progressive attitude is required along with excellent communication skills and the desire to work in a small friendly team.

Our philosophy is to work closely with families in a friendly environment with a commitment to the provision of high quality patient care.

We have a very close knit team in paediatric medicine. All 3 areas work well together under one ward manager. Many staff choose to work a few shifts a month in one of the areas outside of their base ward as they like the variety, and opportunity to learn and to utilise different skills. This has resulted in a cohesive and friendly team who recognise each other's pressures and support each other.

There are great development opportunities to suit your individual needs including: In-house training/Skills passport Access to regional critical care network training EPLS Rotational opportunities

It is an exciting time to be joining our PHDU as we have recently moved to a newly built area with separate accommodation for families and improved facilities.

We are looking for people who are motivated to learn and have a desire to work as part of a dynamic team.

About us The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.

Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.
