The geographical area of the caseload is in and around Banbury, attending clinic at the Horton Hospital. The post holder will be expected to take part in all education activities for children, young people and their families from diagnosis onwards. This will include ward management, clinics, home visits, school visits, group and one-to-one education. The role may include training for ward staff in all aspects of diabetes management and teaching student nurses from Oxford Brookes University. The role requires travel to patient's homes and schools, sharing expert knowledge. The post requires excellent interpersonal skills with a commitment to continued personal development. The post-holder may be asked to complete an accredited module in Children's Diabetes Care after 6 months in post. This would enable the post holder to become an experienced, knowledgeable and educated member of the multi-disciplinary team. The role encompasses aspects of education, research/audit and management but is firmly grounded in direct care provision and clinical work with children, young people and their families.
