An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Children’s Nurse with relevant experience of working with children with complex needs ideally in a community setting either as a student or registered practitioner to join our community team to cover maternity leave. The team work closely together to provide a high quality, responsive and dynamic service for children and young people aged 0 – 19 in the community setting across North Kirklees.

We are an Integrated Children’s Nursing Team consisting of children’s nurses and health care assistants. We have a busy and culturally diverse caseload of children and young people with acute and chronic health needs, including complex care and palliative care.
