Relief Staff Nurse - Children's Respite Service
We are currently recruiting for a Relief Staff Nurse to provide support to children with intellectual disabilities in our Children's Respite Service. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who's passionate about children and interested in providing opportunities for children with ID to develop their full potential in a compassionate and child-centred environment.
Sometimes families need a break, and sometimes children need a chance to play with their friends and have a sleepover or a holiday. Our team supports children in the community for activities such as cinema trips, visiting petting farms, zoo, etc. Our purpose-built children's respite centres provide a welcome break for families and fun and development for children.
This role involves providing therapeutic interventions, practical support, and nursing support where appropriate to meet the needs of individual children/young people. The successful candidate will require RGN/RNMH/RNID qualifications or other suitable nursing qualifications and be a Staff Nurse on the current register as maintained by the NMBI.
