We are currently looking to recruit into a vacancy in our Children's Paediatric Critical Care Unit (PCCU).
Within Nottingham Children's Hospital (NCH) we house a 14 bedded PCCU with both intensive care and high dependency beds. We care for children under a wide range of specialities, working closely alongside the Children's Medical Emergency Transport service for the East Midlands region.
PCCU provides an essential service for Neurology/Neurosurgical, Spinal/Orthopaedic, Oncology/Haematology, Respiratory, General Surgery, and Rheumatology, as well as paediatric renal services for the region. This allows staff on the unit to be actively involved with kidney transplants and hemofiltration.
We are supported by the PCCU Education Team and have a well-established foundation programme for those nurses who want to join us as newly qualified nurses.
Nottingham Children's Hospital is proud of our investment in our nursing staff, and you will have an opportunity to witness this first hand when you meet our practice development team.
For those staff that are always looking for the next challenge, there is the option of using our internal transfer window system to move to another area at a later date to gain further skills and experience.
If you are seeking a position elsewhere at NCH, then please do still enquire as our vacancies may not be limited to this pathway.
Main duties of the job In addition to the below summary, you need to familiarize yourself with full Job Description and Person Specification documents attached to this advert.
